Out of 290 racers who started the marathon, 256 completed the race, 24 gave up, and 10 were disqualified. What percentage did not complete the marathon?

Percentage=11.724%

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of people disqualified= 10

Number of people who gave up= 24

Total number of people who couldn't complete the race= 34

Total number of people who participated= 290

Percentage of people who couldn't complete the race=

Total number of people who couldn't complete the race/Total number of people who participated * 100

34/290*100= 11.724%

1/4 and 8/3 because:

the reciprocal if 4 is 1/4 because 4 is used as 4/1 and the opposite of that is 1/4. the opposite of 3/8 is 8/3 so that is the answer.
