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

Answer: Yukon was straining to break loose the ice that bound it down.

Air-holes formed, fissures sprang and spread apart, while thin sections of ice fell through bodily into the river.

And amid all this bursting, rending, throbbing of awakening life, under the blazing sun.

To make any plain sentence like the one given more "dazzling", the first thing that comes to mind is perhaps using stronger adjectives that call attention to an otherwise dull action such as a person walking down the street. Also we could reveal some detail about the character or what she's feeling or thinking in order to embed the sentence with more meaning. I'll give you an example:

<u>Sandra found herself profoundly submerged in the tediousness of her routine as she started walking across the street, without noticing the red light.</u>


Hope this helps!
