Question

For the 12-km-long Bridge Run, officials set up a water table every 600 meters, starting at the start line. How many water tables are set up for the Bridge Run?

Answer 1

Explanation:

To determine the number of water tables set up for the Bridge Run, we need to divide the total length of the run by the distance between the water tables.

The total length of the run is given as 12 km.

The distance between the water tables is 600 meters.

To convert the units, we can express the total length of the run in meters:

12 km = 12,000 meters

Now we can divide the total length of the run by the distance between the water tables:

12,000 meters ÷ 600 meters = 20

So there are 20 water tables set up for the Bridge Run.
