The reflectors in each lane-marking stripe on a highway are spaced 16 yards apart. How many reflectors are needed for a 2-kilometer-long stretch of highway? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)

Explanation:

There is ONE at the beginning then one every 16 yards to the end

2 km = 2000 m = 2187.2266 yards

2187.2266 yds / (16 yds /marker) = 136.7 = ~137 PLUS the one at the start = 138 markers
