Answer :

Answer: 440 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A parade route is [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] mile long

There are 8 refreshment stand at the end of the route

Suppose there are two refreshment stand, so the route is divided into 3 parts, similarly for three stands, the route is divided into 4 parts

For 8 stands, the route is divided into 9 parts

Distance between two stands is

[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{\frac{3}{4}}{9}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{12}\ \text{miles}[/tex]

We know, [tex]1\ \text{mile}\equiv 5280\ ft[/tex]

convert miles to feet

[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{12}\times 5280\\\\\Rightarrow 440\ ft[/tex]
