There will be 4 water stations.
Why?
3/4 = .75 as a decimal
Personally, I believe that it’s easier to use decimals, I can explain the way in fractions in the comments if you’d like, just ask.
Anyway, .75 • 4= 3
or 3 / .75 = 4 (division is easier with bigger numbers)
so, there will be 4 water stations, given that the one race is 3 miles long.
If this explanation seems unclear, I’d be happy to explain. Feel free to ask in the comments!! I’m happy to help.
Hope this helps!
