Josh and three friends are planning to spend 2 days collecting litter on a walking path. The length of the path is 1 mile. Josh and his friends have decided that they will divide up the mile-long path so that each person collects litter for the same distance. What is the distance, in feet, that each person will collect litter?

1,320 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Josh and his three friends will collect litter during 2 days, we must divide the mile by 4. Each mile has 5,280 feet, so each friend (including Josh) will need to collect litter from 5,280 feet / 4 friends = 1,320 feet per friend.

Each one will need to collect litter from approximately 660 feet per day (x 2 days = 1,320)

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance of the path that Josh and his friends want to cover in 2 days is 1 mile. Since the number of friends is 3, the total number of people to cover this distance is 3 + 1 = 4

We would convert the distance to feet.

1 mile = 5280 feet

Since Josh and his friends have decided that they will divide up the mile-long path so that each person collects litter for the same distance, the distance, in feet, that each person will collect litter is

5280/4 = 1320 feet
