Walls · Answer 1

54 poles

Explanation:

1600 / 30 = 53.333 (only 53 poles)

note: there was one set at the beginning, so you would have to add 1 = 54

Octavio Cabrera · Answer 2

53

Explanation:

Because there are 1609.34 meters in a mile. 1609.34:30=53.64 but because you put one at the beginning of the mile it will stay 53 and not round up to 54
