4. A guardrail that runs along the
highway comes in sections that
are 10 meters long. If the
guardrail is 0.5 km long, how
many sections are there?

Respuesta :

There are 50 sections.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Length of section = 10 meters

Total length of guardrail = 0.5 km

We will convert this length in meters.

1 km = 1000 meters

0.5 km = 0.5*1000 = 500 meters

Now,

No. of sections = [tex]\frac{Total\ length\ of\ guardrail}{Length\ of\ one\ section}[/tex]

No. of sections = [tex]\frac{500}{10}[/tex]

No. of sections = 50

There are 50 sections.
