A race begins with 2 1/2 miles through town, continues through the park for 2 1/3 miles, and finishes at the track after the last 1/6 mile. A volunteer is stationed every quarter mile and at the finish line to pass out cups of water and cheer on the runners. How many volunteers are needed?

20 volunteers. Add up all the distances, then divide by 0.25 (one quarter)
