If the rental skis at Mt Buller were lined up end to end, they would reach from the summit of Mt Buller all the way down to the entry gate at Mirimbah. The average length of a downhill ski is 1.5 m and the distance from the Mt Buller summit to Mirimbah is 18.3km . How many rental skis are there?

18,300 meters / 1.5 meters

1830

There are 1830 rental skis.

To find the number of rental skis, we need to divide the total distance from the Mt Buller summit to Mirimbah by the average length of a ski.

Given:
- Average length of a ski = 1.5 m
- Distance from Mt Buller summit to Mirimbah = 18.3 km

First, we need to convert the distance from kilometers to meters, since the length of a ski is given in meters.
1 km = 1000 m

So, 18.3 km = 18.3 × 1000 m = 18,300 m.

Now, let's divide the total distance by the average length of a ski to find the number of rental skis:
Number of rental skis = Total distance / Average length of a ski
Number of rental skis = 18,300 m / 1.5 m

Simplifying the equation gives us:
Number of rental skis = 12,200 skis.

Therefore, there are approximately 12,200 rental skis at Mt Buller, based on the given information.
