To determine the number of water stations needed for this marathon, divide the total length of the marathon by the distance between each water station: 26.2 miles / 114 miles = 0.23
Since the number of water stations cannot be fractional, round up to the nearest whole number: 0.23 rounds up to 1.
Therefore, 1 water station is needed for this marathon.
