Answer:

10 water stations are needed

Explanation:

To get the number of water- station needed, we simply divide the total length of the half marathon by the distance where we can find a water station

mathematically,

that would be 13.1 divided by 1 1/3

= 13.1 divided by 4/3

= 13.1 * 3/4 = 9.825 which is approximately 10
