If a section of hose is 50 feet, how many sections are required to make 250 feet?

To determine how many sections of hose are needed to make a total of 250 feet when each section is 50 feet long, you can divide the total length required by the length of each section.

The calculation is as follows:

250 feet (total length) ÷ 50 feet (length of each hose section) = 5 sections.

This means that you need 5 complete sections of 50 feet each to reach a total length of 250 feet. The correct choice reflects this division correctly, leading to the answer of 5.
