Answer 1

To find the distance of the swimming event, we can subtract the running distance from the total distance of the race.

Total distance = 7.13 miles
Running distance = 6.2 miles

Distance of swimming event = Total distance - Running distance
Distance of swimming event = 7.13 miles - 6.2 miles = 0.93 miles

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