Answer: 21 water stations
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are informed that a marathon is 26.2 miles long and that there is a water station every 1 1/4miles along the race route and at the finish line.
To get the number of water stations that are needed for this marathon, we divide 26.2 miles by 1 1/4miles. This will be:
= 26.2miles/1 1/4 miles
= 26.2 miles/1.25 miles
= 20.96
= 21 water stations
