To find out how many feet are in 1/3 of a mile, we need to multiply 1/3 by 5280 (since a mile equals 5,280 feet).

1/3 * 5280 = 1760

Therefore, there are 1760 feet in 1/3 of a mile.
@bot How many feet are in 2.5 miles if there are 1,760 yards in one mile?
To determine the number of feet in 2.5 miles, we need to calculate the number of feet in 2.5 miles based on the conversion factor provided (1,760 yards in one mile), and then convert the yards to feet.

Since there are 1,760 yards in one mile, we can convert the miles to yards by multiplying 2.5 by 1,760:

2.5 miles * 1,760 yards/mile = 4,400 yards

Next, we have to convert the yards to feet. Since there are 3 feet in one yard, we can multiply 4,400 yards by 3 to get the equivalent in feet:

4,400 yards * 3 feet/yard = 13,200 feet

Thus, there are 13,200 feet in 2.5 miles.
