The 600 mile, Texas Gulf Coast has various barrier islands that protect the coast from storms. If each barrier island is an average of 75 miles in length, how many barrier islands are there?

8 barrier island.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Texas Gulf Coast is about 600 miles and that it has various barrier islands that helps protect the coast from storms.

We are further told that each barrier island is an average of 75 miles in length. Therefore, the number of barrier islands that are there will be gotten by dividing 600 by 75. This will be:

= 600 / 75

= 8 barrier island

only 10/60 isn't equivalent

hope this : )
