Answer:

0.1515

Explanation:

1 mile = 5,280 feet

To convert 1 mile to 800 feet, we can set up a proportion:


(1 mile)/(5,280 feet) = (x \: miles)/(800 feet)

where x is the number of miles equivalent to 800 feet. To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:


{5,280 feet}^(x miles) = {800 \: \: feet}^(1 mile)

Dividing both sides by 5,280 feet, we get:


x miles = (800 feet)/(5,280 feet) \\ x miles = 0.1515151515 miles

Therefore, 1 mile is equivalent to approximately 0.1515 miles or 800 feet is equivalent to approximately 0.1515 miles.
