Problema Solution
A hiking trail is 20 kilometers long.Park organizers want to build 5 rest stops one on each end of the trail and the other 3 spaced evenly between.How much distance will separate successive rest stops?
Answer provided by our tutors
three rest stops evenly spaced within the trail will mean there are four equal lengths of trail along the way
20/4 = 5
so a rest stop every 5 km will provide three rest stops at the 5, 10 and 15-km points
