At a Road Race you have 60 3/4 feet available for a water station your tables are 6 3/4 feet long. How many tables can you line up for the water station?
Answer: There are 9 tables he can line up for the water station.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Length of water station = \(60\dfrac{3}{4}=\dfrac{243}{4}\ feet\)
Length of table = \(6\dfrac{3}{4}\\\\=\dfrac{27}{4}\ feet\)
So, the number of tables that he can line up for the water station would be
\(\dfrac{243}{4}\div \dfrac{27}{4}\\\\=\dfrac{243}{4}\times \dfrac{4}{27}\\\\=\dfrac{243}{27}\\\\=9\)
Hence, there are 9 tables he can line up for the water station.
