penny has run 3 miles of a 5 mile race, what percentage has she ran?

To find the percentage of the race that Penny has run, you can use the formula:

\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Miles run}}{\text{Total miles}} \right) \times 100
\]

Plugging in the numbers:

\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{3}{5} \right) \times 100 = 60\%
\]

So, Penny has run **60%** of the race.
