Ramona is counting posts between mile markers on the highway. In 1 mile she counts 33 posts if the posts are evenly spaced how manny feet apart are they?
Answer:
They are 165 feet apart.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Total distance = 1 miles = 5280 feet,
Number of posts = 33,
∵ We have to arrange these post such that posts are evenly spaced,
So, the total number of equal spaces = 32,
Hence, the distance between any two consecutive post = \(\frac{\text{Total distance}}{32}\)
\(=\frac{5280}{32}\)
\(=165\text{ feet}\)
