Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the whole race be x.

Since Diego has run 2/3 of a race's distance which is 8 1/2 kilometers. The length of the whole race will then be:

2/3 × x = 8 1/2

x = 8 1/2 ÷ 2/3

x = 8 1/2 × 3/2

x = 17/2 × 3/2

x = 51/4

x = 12 3/4 kilometers.

The whole race is 12 3/4 kilometers.
