Question

65 traffic cones we’re equally spaced over 5/8 of a mile how many traffic cones are used per mile

Answer 1

Given:

65 traffic cones we’re equally spaced over $\dfrac{5}{8}$ of a mile.

To find:

The number of traffic cones are used per mile.

Solution:

We have,

Number of cones used in $\dfrac{5}{8}$ of a mile = 65

Number of cones used for a mile = $65\times \dfrac{8}{5}$

                                                       = $13\times 8$

                                                       = $104$

Therefore, 104 traffic cones are used per mile.
