To find out how many women ran the marathon, you need to calculate 20% of the total number of runners, which is 4,000.
First, convert the percentage to a decimal:
20% = 0.20
Now, multiply the total number of runners by this decimal:
Number of women = 0.20 × 4,000
Calculating this gives:
Number of women = 800
Therefore, 800 women ran the marathon.
