Answer 1

To find the distance of the swimming event, you need to subtract the running distance from the total distance of the race.

Total distance = 7.13 miles
Running distance = 6.2 miles

Swimming distance = Total distance - Running distance
Swimming distance = 7.13 miles - 6.2 miles
Swimming distance = 0.93 miles

So, the distance of the swimming event is 0.93 miles.
