Question Water stations are to be arranged after every 500 m. How many water stations must be set up? At what positions from the starting point will these water stations be placed?
Total distance = 3 km = 3 × 1000 m = 3000 m
The number of water stations to be set up = 3000 – 500 = 6
So, water stations will be placed at 500 m, 1000 m, 1500 m, 2000 m, 2500 m, and 3000 m.
