Answer:

17

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
