Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the number of stops, divide the total distance by the distance between stops and add one for the starting point. $46.8 \div 3.9 = 12$. Adding the starting point gives 13 stops, but since the question asks for the number of stops excluding the starting point, the answer is 12.
