Ramona is counting the posts between mile markers on the highway. In 1 mile, she counts 33 posts if the posts are evenly spaced, how many feet apart are they?

Seeing as there are 5280 feet in each mile. They are 160ft apart.

5280/33 is 160

Your answer is 160 ft apart because if you turn 1 mile into feet it would be 5280 feet, then divide by 33 posts and you would get an even answer of 160 feet apart.
