Question

The total length of a beach is 13.2 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

22 including one at the end of the beach

Explanation:

Total length of the beach = 13.2 kilometers

If lifeguards are stationed every 0.6 kilometers, INCLUDING one at the end of the beach

= 13.2 kilometers / 0.6 kilometers

= 22

Number of lifeguards in the beach = 22 including one at the end of the beach
