Question

Monica rode on a city bus from her current location to a destination 20.4 miles away. The distance between each time the bus stopped while she was on it was 0.85 miles. People boarded the bus at 75% of the stops during her ride. On how many stops did people board the bus during Monica's ride?

13
15
18
24

Answer 1

To find the number of stops where people boarded the bus during Monica's ride, we need to divide the total distance of the ride (20.4 miles) by the distance between each stop (0.85 miles).

Number of stops = Total distance / Distance between stops

Number of stops = 20.4 miles / 0.85 miles

Number of stops ≈ 24

Therefore, people boarded the bus at 24 stops during Monica's ride.
