Answer to Problem 16PTTS
The number of access points present along the wall is 6.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
A beach has a 480-yard wall separating it from a sidewalk. Every 240 feet, there is a break in the wall for access to the beach.
Calculation:
One yard is equal to 3 feet.
So, convert 480 yard into feet using conversion factor.
At every 240 feet, there is a break in the wall for access to the beach.
So, divide the total length of the wall by 240 feet.
Number of the access point is obtained as:
Hence,
The number of access points present along the wall is 6.
