Both mile and yard are units of distance thus they are inter convertible.
Distance covered in a marathon is 26.2 miles.
Since, 1 mile=1760 yards
Thus, distance can be converted into yards using the following conversion factor:
[tex]\frac{1760 yards}{1 mile}[/tex]
Thus, distance covered in marathon in yard will be:
[tex]d=26.2 mile(\frac{1760 yards}{1 mile})=46112 yards[/tex]
Therefore, distance of the race is 46112 yards.
