13. A road is 6.2 km long. Light poles were
placed 5 m apart along the road.
Calculate how many light poles are
along the road.


Sagot :

To calculate the number of light poles along the road, we need to convert the road length from kilometers to meters and then divide by the distance between the light poles.

1 kilometer = 1000 meters

So, 6.2 kilometers = 6.2 * 1000 = 6200 meters

The distance between each light pole is 5 meters.

Number of light poles = Total distance / Distance between poles

Number of light poles = 6200 meters / 5 meters = 1240

Therefore, there are 1240 light poles along the road.
