Keisha is helping plan a race route for a 10-kilometer charity run. The committee wants to set up the following things along the course.
Viewing areas: At the end of each half of the course Water stations: At the end of each fifth of the course Distance markers: At the end of each tenth of the course
Which locations have more than one thing located there?
First, make a table to organize the information.
Next, identify a relationship. Use a common denominator, and find equivalent fractions.
Finally, identify the locations at which more than one thing will be set up. Circle the locations.
What if distance markers will also be placed at the end of every fourth of the course? Will any of those markers be set up at the same location as another distance marker, a water station, or a viewing area? Explain.
