See Explanation

So, first of all, we are told that a marathon race is ##26.2## miles. We are asked to give the equal length in yards and feet.

It is really helpful to remember a few conversion factors:

1) ##1## mile=##5,280## feet 2) ##1## miles=##1,760## yards

So let's start with converting miles to feet... Since each mile equals ##5,280## feet, let's multiply ##26.2## by ##5,280##, which equals to ##138,336## feet.

Great! Now let's convert from miles to yards. Since each mile equals ##1,760## yards, let's multiply ##26.2## by ##1,760##, which equals to ##46,112## yards.

Hope this helps!
