A parade route is 3/4 mile long there will be a refreshment stand at the beginning and end of the route there also be 8 refreshment stands along the route all the refreshment stands are equally spaced apart how far apart are the refreshment stands in feet?

1 answer

First, we need to find the total distance between all the refreshment stands along the route. Since there are 10 refreshment stands (2 at the beginning and end, and 8 along the route), we can divide the total distance of the parade route by 10:

3/4 mile = 3/4 * 5280 feet (1 mile = 5280 feet)

3/4 mile = 3960 feet

3960 feet / 10 = 396 feet

Therefore, the refreshment stands are spaced 396 feet apart along the parade route.
