Question

A section of highway is 7/10 mile long There are road signs every 1/3 mile How many road signs are along the highway Round down to a whole number

Answer 1

To find the number of road signs along the highway, we need to divide the length of the highway by the distance between each road sign.

The length of the highway is 7/10 mile.

The distance between each road sign is 1/3 mile.

Dividing 7/10 by 1/3, we get: (7/10)/(1/3) = (7/10) * (3/1) = (7*3)/(10*1) = 21/10 = 2.1

Therefore, there are approximately 2.1 road signs along the highway.

Since we need to round down to a whole number, we will have 2 road signs along the highway.
