Question

water stations will be placed every 600 meters of a fifteen kilometer race. how many water stations will be needed?

Answer 1

Answer: 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Water stations will be placed every 600 meters of a fifteen kilometer race.

i.e. Total length of the race track = 15 kilometers

Since 1 km= 1000 m

Then , Total length of the race track = 15000 kilometers

Distance required to place water stations = 600 meters

Then , the number of water stations will be needed is given by :-

$=\dfrac{15000}{600}=25$

Hence, the number of water stations will be needed = 25

Answer 2

1km=1000metres
15km=15000 metres 
15000/600=25
25-1=24 (minus the last one)

hope this helps :)
