Calculate how many 0.75km can you fit in the distance of 5.25km.

For every 0.75km, there will be 1 water station, for every 5.25km, there will be 5.25km ÷ 0.75km = 7 water stations.

The ratio of 0.75km : 1water station does not change, since there is also one at the finishing line.

Hope this helps! :)
