Buoys are placed in the ocean at even intervals away from the beach to help swimmers monitor how far away from the beach they have swum. If a swimmer reaches the third buoy, they have swum out 72 meters. How many meters from the beach is the fourth buoy?
How far is the first buoy from the beach? ** The buoys are evenly spaced, so the first buoy is 72 / 3 = <<72/3=24>>24 meters from the beach.
How far is the fourth buoy from the beach? ** Thus, the fourth buoy is 24 * 4 = <<24*4=96>>96 meters from the beach.
