Question

65 traffic cones we’re equally spaced over 5/8 of a mile how many traffic cones are used per mile

Answer 1

Given:

65 traffic cones we’re equally spaced over
`(5)/(8)` of a mile.

To find:

The number of traffic cones are used per mile.

Solution:

We have,

Number of cones used in
`(5)/(8)` of a mile = 65

Number of cones used for a mile =
`65* (8)/(5)`

=
`13* 8`

=
`104`

Therefore, 104 traffic cones are used per mile.
