Question

A road crew is putting sign on a 5 mile Road the first sign is the start of the road then they will place a sign every 500 yards how many sign do they need

Answer 1

The answer is 17 I have done that equation before

Answer 2

Answer:

17

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 5,280 feet in a mile you want to multiply that by 5 for 5 miles

(5,280) (5) = 26,400

Since there are 3 feet in a yard you want to divide this number by 3

26,400/3 = 8,800

Then divide this by 500 for every 500 yards

8,800/500 = 17.6

Then round down because you can't have a decimal.

Therefore it is 17
