Given the statement:
In a certain region, about 11,000 people are needed to support a fire station.
Determine how many fire stations would you expect in a city of 2 million people.
Solution:
In order to determine how many fire stations would you expect in a city of 2 million people, we simply need to divide 2 million by 11,000.
= 2,000,000 / 11,000
= 181.8
Since we need a concise answer in whole number, we simply round off the answer to the nearest whole number.
= 182
Final answer:
= 182 fire stations
