A marathon is 26.2 miles long. There is a water station every 114
miles along the race route. How many water stations are needed for this marathon?
12
To determine the number of water stations needed for this marathon, divide the total length of the marathon by the distance between each water station: 26.2 miles / 114 miles = 0.23
Since the number of water stations cannot be fractional, round up to the nearest whole number: 0.23 rounds up to 1.
Therefore, 1 water station is needed for this marathon.
