Question

A parade route is 3/4 mile long.There will be a Refreshment add the standAlso be eight refreshment stand at the end of the route. How far are the refreshment stands in feet

Answer 1

Answer: 440 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A parade route is $\frac{3}{4}$ mile long

There are 8 refreshment stand at the end of the route

Suppose there are two refreshment stand, so the route is divided into 3 parts, similarly for three stands, the route is divided into 4 parts

For 8 stands, the route is divided into 9 parts

Distance between two stands is

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{\frac{3}{4}}{9}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{12}\ \text{miles}$

We know, $1\ \text{mile}\equiv 5280\ ft$

convert miles to feet

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{12}\times 5280\\\\\Rightarrow 440\ ft$
