To convert \( \frac{1}{3} \) of a mile to feet, we first need to know how many feet are in a mile.

1 mile = 5280 feet.

Now, we can calculate \( \frac{1}{3} \) of a mile in feet:

\[ \frac{1}{3} \text{ mile} = \frac{1}{3} \times 5280 \text{ feet} \]

Now we perform the multiplication:

\[ \frac{1}{3} \times 5280 = \frac{5280}{3} = 1760 \text{ feet} \]

Thus, \( \frac{1}{3} \) of a mile is equal to 1760 feet.
