Question

Utility poles are to be set every 30 meters. How many poles will be set in one mile if one was set at the beginning of the mile)?

Answer 1

Answer:

54 poles

Explanation:

1600 / 30 = 53.333 (only 53 poles)

note: there was one set at the beginning, so you would have to add 1  = 54

Answer 2

Answer:

53

Explanation:

Because there are 1609.34 meters in a mile. 1609.34÷30=53.64 but because you put one at the beginning of the mile it will stay 53 and not round up to 54
