Answer 2

Answer: 25

Explanation:

Given : Water stations will be placed every 600 meters of a fifteen kilometer race.

i.e. Total length of the race track = 15 kilometers

Since 1 km= 1000 m

Then , Total length of the race track = 15000 kilometers

Distance required to place water stations = 600 meters

Then , the number of water stations will be needed is given by :-

`=(15000)/(600)=25`

Hence, the number of water stations will be needed = 25
