Question

A race is 3 miles long. There are water stations every 3/4 mile along the route. How many water stations are along the route?

Answer 1

There will be 4 water stations.

Why?

3/4 = .75 as a decimal

Personally, I believe that it’s easier to use decimals, I can explain the way in fractions in the comments if you’d like, just ask.

Anyway, .75 • 4= 3

or 3 / .75 = 4 (division is easier with bigger numbers)

so, there will be 4 water stations, given that the one race is 3 miles long.

If this explanation seems unclear, I’d be happy to explain. Feel free to ask in the comments!! I’m happy to help.

Hope this helps!
