Given the statement:
A relay race covers 1 1/2 kilometers and each runner on a team will run 1/4 of a kilometer.
Determine the number of runners for a team.
Solution:
Convert the given distances into decimals, and divide.
1 ½ km = 1.5 km
¼ km = 0.25 km
Number of runners = 1.5 km /0.25 km
Number of runners = 6
The number of runners needed for a team is 6.
