Water stations will be placed every 400 meters of a 5'kilometer race. How many water stations are needed.
5000 divided by 400 = 12.5
12 with a 200 remainder
To determine the number of water stations needed in a 5-kilometer race with water stations placed every 400 meters, you would divide the total distance of the race by the distance between each water station.
5000 meters ÷ 400 meters = 12.5
Since you can't have a fraction of a water station, you would round up to the nearest whole number. Therefore, you would need 13 water stations for the 5-kilometer race.
To solve this problem, you need to divide the total distance of the race by the distance between each water station.
Given:
Total distance of the race (5 kilometers) = 5000 meters
Distance between each water station = 400 meters
To find the number of water stations needed, divide the total distance of the race by the distance between each water station:
5000 meters ÷ 400 meters = 12.5
Since you cannot have a fractional number of water stations, round up the decimal to the nearest whole number:
Round(12.5) = 13
Therefore, you would need 13 water stations for this race.
