A race begins with 2 1/2 miles through town, continues through the park for 2 1/3 miles, and finishes at the track after the last 1/6 mile. A volunteer is stationed every quarter mile and at the finish line to pass out cups of water and cheer on the runners. How many volunteers are needed?

You would need 20 volunteers

Step-by-step explanation:

If you make all of the fractions have a denominator of 6 then they would all add up to 1 which would be 2+2+1 which is 5 miles. Then you multiply 5 by 4 (for ever quarter mile) and it equals 20

20 I think

Step-by-step explanation:

So you add all the miles up 2 1/2 + 2 1/3 + 1/6 = 5 miles

A volunteer is stationed every quarter (1/4)

1 mile divided into 1/4 is 4

So 5 times 4 is 20
