At the Augusta City Marathon, the rules state that for every 60 runners, there must be 4 paramedics on site for runner safety. If 420 runners sign up, how many paramedics will the race planners need to secure?
*
To determine the number of paramedics needed for runner safety, we need to calculate the number of groups of 60 runners in the race.
Number of groups of 60 runners = Total number of runners / Runners per group
Number of groups of 60 runners = 420 runners / 60 runners/group
Dividing 420 runners by 60 runners/group gives us:
Number of groups of 60 runners = 7 groups
Now that we know there are 7 groups of 60 runners, we need to calculate the number of paramedics needed.
Number of paramedics = Number of groups of 60 runners * 4 paramedics/group
Number of paramedics = 7 groups * 4 paramedics/group
Multiplying 7 groups by 4 paramedics/group gives us:
Number of paramedics = 28 paramedics
Therefore, the race planners will need to secure 28 paramedics for the Augusta City Marathon.
24 240 28 280
I apologize for the incorrect answer. Let's calculate the correct number of paramedics needed.
Number of groups of 60 runners = Total number of runners / Runners per group
Number of groups of 60 runners = 420 runners / 60 runners/group
Dividing 420 runners by 60 runners/group gives us:
Number of groups of 60 runners = 7 groups
Now that we know there are 7 groups of 60 runners, we need to calculate the number of paramedics needed.
Number of paramedics = Number of groups of 60 runners * 4 paramedics/group
Number of paramedics = 7 groups * 4 paramedics/group
Multiplying 7 groups by 4 paramedics/group gives us:
Number of paramedics = 28 paramedics
Therefore, the race planners will need to secure 28 paramedics for the Augusta City Marathon.
To determine the number of paramedics needed for the Augusta City Marathon, we need to find the ratio of runners to paramedics based on the rule stated.
First, we divide the total number of runners by the given ratio to find the number of groups of 60 runners:
420 runners / 60 runners/group = 7 groups
Next, we multiply the number of groups by the number of paramedics needed for each group:
7 groups x 4 paramedics/group = 28 paramedics
Therefore, the race planners will need to secure 28 paramedics for the Augusta City Marathon.
