To add these distances, they must share the same unit so first you need to first convert the swim distance from meters (m) to kilometers (km) before adding it to the bike and run distances which are already in km. To convert 300 meters to kilometers, divide the distance by 1000 to get 0.3km then add the remaining distances:

total distance = swim + bike + run
total distance = 0.3km + 40.9km + 5.3km
total distance = 46.5km

To divide fractions, invert the second fraction and then multiply:

\( \frac{1}{5} \) ÷ \( \frac{2}{6} \) = \( \frac{1}{5} \) x \( \frac{6}{2} \)

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:

\( \frac{1}{5} \) x \( \frac{6}{2} \) = \( \frac{1 x 6}{5 x 2} \) = \( \frac{6}{10} \) = \(\frac{3}{5}\)

The amount of flour you need is (2\(\frac{5}{8}\) - \(\frac{3}{4}\)) cups. Rewrite the quantities so they share a common denominator and subtract:

(\( \frac{21}{8} \) - \( \frac{6}{8} \)) cups
\( \frac{15}{8} \) cups
1\(\frac{7}{8}\) cups

A factorial has the form n! and is the product of the integer (n) and all the positive integers below it. For example, 5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120.

Calculate the number of vans needed by dividing the number of people that need transported by the capacity of one van:

vans = \( \frac{32}{13} \) = 2\(\frac{6}{13}\)

So, it will take 2 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 3 vans.
