Question

I hiking trail is 20 km long. Park organizers want to build five rest ops for hikers with one on each end of the trail in the other three spaced evenly between. How much distance will separate successive rest stops

Answer 1

Answer:

5km

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 5 rest ops where 2 of them are at 2 ends and the other 3 are spaced evenly between. This would create 4 equal separated spaces. If the total distance is 20km, then the length for each space would be 20 / 4 = 5 km
