Question

At a Road Race you have 60 3/4 feet available for a water station your tables are 6 3/4 feet long. How many tables can you line up for the water station?

Answer 1

You can line up 9 tables for the water station.

Answer 2

Answer: There are 9 tables he can line up for the water station.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of water station = $60\dfrac{3}{4}=\dfrac{243}{4}\ feet$

Length of table = $6\dfrac{3}{4}\\\\=\dfrac{27}{4}\ feet$

So, the number of tables that he can line up for the water station would be

$\dfrac{243}{4}\div \dfrac{27}{4}\\\\=\dfrac{243}{4}\times \dfrac{4}{27}\\\\=\dfrac{243}{27}\\\\=9$

Hence, there are 9 tables he can line up for the water station.
