Question

At a road work site, 20 cones are placed along 50 feet of road. How many cones are placed along 35 feet of road?​

Answer 1

Answer: 14

Step-by-step explanation: if we divide the total length by the amount of cones we get 2.5 which is feet between cones, so now we start with 2.5 = 1 and get 2.5 to 35 so the 1 is the answer, finally dividing 35 by 2.5 gives us the answer: 14.

Answer 2

Answer: 14 cones

Explanation:

We can do 50/20

= 2.5 cones placed per feet of distance (vector)

To find: How many cones are placed along 35 feet of road?​

We can now divide 35 by 2.5 and the result is 14.

14 cones were placed, in the interval of 35 feet.
