Question

A marrathon is 26.6 miles long. There is a water station every 1 31/100 miles along the race route which expression represents the total number of water stations

Answer 1

We are told that a marathon is 26.2 miles long. There is a water station every 1 and 3/100 miles along the race route. We are supposed to write an expression that represents the total number of water stations.

Let x be the total number of water stations.

First of all, we will convert our mixed fraction into an improper fraction.

1 3/100 = 103/100

The total number of water station in the marathon of 26.2 miles will be,

103/100 * x = 26.2

x = 26.2 * 100/103

Therefore, x = 26.2 * 100/103 will represent the total number of water stations.

Have a nice day and stay safe.
