Numerical Answers Expected! 

Answer fast please

Answer 1

The answer is 9.

# of poles needed = (length of entire track)/(distance between poles)
# of poles needed = (27/8) divided by (3/8)
# of poles needed = (27/8) times (8/3)
# of poles needed = (27*8)(8*3)
# of poles needed = 27/3
# of poles needed = 9
