Answer:

I believe 88 buoys

Step-by-step explanation:

The race is 25 miles long and theirs a buoy every 500 yards

There are 44000 yards in 25 miles

44000 (yards) divided by 500 (yards) is 88 (buoys).

500 yards      44000 yards

--------------- =  --------------------

1 buoy              x buoys

Going diagonally, 1 × 44000 is 44000.

44000 ÷ 500 = x

x = 88
