Full solution

Q. Kamal runs marathons, which are about 2626 miles long. He usually runs 44 marathons a year, and he has been doing this for 1111 years. Kamal estimates he has run a little over 100100 miles during all these marathons. Is that a good estimate?\newline(A) Yes.\newline(B) No, it is much too high.\newline(C) No, it is much too low.
  1. Calculate Total Marathons: Step 11: Calculate the total number of marathons Kamal has run over 1111 years. He runs 44 marathons each year.\newlineCalculation: 44 marathons/year ×\times 1111 years = 4444 marathons.
  2. Calculate Total Distance: Step 22: Calculate the total distance Kamal has run in these marathons. Each marathon is approximately 2626 miles long.\newlineCalculation: 4444 marathons ×\times 2626 miles/marathon = 11441144 miles.
  3. Compare Estimate with Calculation: Step 33: Compare Kamal's estimate of running "a little over 100100 miles" with the calculated total of 11441144 miles.\newlineReasoning: Kamal's estimate of a little over 100100 miles is significantly lower than 11441144 miles.
