Given:
65 traffic cones we’re equally spaced over [tex]\dfrac{5}{8}[/tex] of a mile.
To find:
The number of traffic cones are used per mile.
Solution:
We have,
Number of cones used in [tex]\dfrac{5}{8}[/tex] of a mile = 65
Number of cones used for a mile = [tex]65\times \dfrac{8}{5}[/tex]
= [tex]13\times 8[/tex]
= [tex]104[/tex]
Therefore, 104 traffic cones are used per mile.
