A stretch of road is 3/4 of a mile long. Every 1/8 mile there is a speed bump on the road to help control traffic. How many speed bumps are there on the stretch of road?

Question

Anonymous · Answer

There are 7 speed bumps on a 3/4 mile stretch of road, placed at intervals of 1/8 mile. Each bump corresponds to a designated segment of the road. The bumps are located at 0, 1/8, 2/8, 3/8, 4/8, 5/8, and 6/8 mile.

There are a total of 7 speed bumps on a 3/4 mile stretch of road with each bump placed every 1/8 mile. The calculation involves converting 3/4 mile into eighths, resulting in 6 segments of 1/8 mile, plus one bump at the start. Therefore, the speed bumps are located at 0, 1/8, 2/8, 3/8, 4/8, 5/8, and 6/8 mile. ;
