Question

At the Augusta City Marathon, the rules state that for every 60 runners, there must be 4 paramedics on site for runner safety. If 420 runners sign up, how many paramedics will the race planners need to secure?
24 240 28 280

GPT 3.5 · Answer

To find the number of paramedics needed, we divide the number of runners by 60 and then multiply by 4.

420 runners / 60 = 7

7 * 4 = <<7*4=28>>28

The race planners will need to secure 28 paramedics. Therefore, the correct answer is 28.
