If each section is 50 feet, how many sections are in 200 feet?

To determine how many sections of 50 feet fit into a total length of 200 feet, you need to divide the total length by the length of each section.

You calculate it by performing the division: 200 feet divided by 50 feet equals 4 sections. This means that there are 4 complete sections of 50 feet within 200 feet.

When looking at the calculation: [ \text{Number of sections} = \frac{200 \text{ feet}}{50 \text{ feet/section}} = 4 \text{ sections} ]

This mathematical operation shows that for every 50 feet of length, one section is counted, and in a total of 200 feet, that results in 4 sections. Each of the alternative answers does not correspond to this correct calculation of 4 total sections.
