Question

The total length of a beach is 15.6 kilometers. If lifeguards are stationed every 0.6 kilometers, including one at the end of the beach, how many lifeguards will there be on the beach?

Answer 1

26

Step-by-step explanation:

Total length of the beach = 15.6 km

Life guards stationed at distance = 0.6 km

Number of guards will be calculated by dividing total distance to distance they are apart from each other.

therefore

no of guards = 15.6 / 0.6

no of guards = 26
