Question

The distance covered in one lap of the race car track is 6,300 ft. There are 210 lights installed at equal distances along the length of the track. Find how far apart these lights are from each other.

• A. 30 ft
• B. 18 ft
• C. 40 ft
• D. 35 ft

Answer 1

The correct option is A 30 ft

There are 210 lights installed along the path of 6,300 ft.

The distance between the lights = $\frac{6,300}{210}$


$$\begin{array}{c}30\\ 2106300\\ -\underset{–}{630}-2\\ 000\end{array}$$

Hence, the lights are 30 ft apart from each other.
