Question 6 • CCS District-ACT WorkKeys Remediation

You are a race event coordinator. You are putting up a sign 70% of the way through a 10-mile race to let runners know how much farther they have to go to reach the finish line. How much of the race, in kilometers, will the runners have left to complete at this point? Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

Answer
A
4.8 km
B
11.3 km
C
16.1 km
D
22.6 km
E
32.2 km

Explanation

At 70% of the race, runners have completed 70%, so 30% remains. Thirty percent of 10 miles is 3 miles. Converting to kilometers gives 3 × 1.609 ≈ 4.8 km, so the correct choice is 4.8 km.
