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

Explanation:

Given

A parade route is
`(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 ((3)/(4))/(9)\\\\\Rightarrow (1)/(12)\ \text{miles}`

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

convert miles to feet

`\Rightarrow (1)/(12)* 5280\\\\\Rightarrow 440\ ft`
