Mirikitani's "Attack the Water" relates to Rukeyser's "Poem" because they both focus on what civilians experience during wartime. "Attack the Water" describes the struggle of Vietnamese people living during (and after) the Vietnam War, and of Japanese-Americans in the era of Japanese Labor camps. "Poem" reflects on the struggle of people living during both of the World Wars, trying to get by and to get through such a tragic time. Both of these poems show that even when people are not involved directly in a war, war can still have an immense impact on their lives.

90% of runners in a marathon successfully completed it. 30% of these runners were men. How many total runners began the marathon

Semmy [17]

The total runners who began the marathon is 1000

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Runners who completed the marathon = 90%

Men = 30%

Number of men completed the marathon = 270

Total runners who began the marathon = ?

Let the total runners be x

According to question:

Runners who completed the marathon = $\frac{90}{100} X x$

= 0.9x

and,

$\frac{30}{100} X 0.9 x = 270$

Solving further:

$0.9x = \frac{270 X 100}{30} \\\\x = \frac{270 X 100}{30 X 0.9} \\\\x = 1000$

Therefore, total runners who began the marathon is 1000
