Explanation:

(Question 3):

Step1: Convert mile to feet

1 mile = 5280 feet

Step2: Count total spaces between reflectors

11 reflectors create 12 equal spaces: $11 + 1 = 12$

Step3: Calculate distance per space

$\frac{5280}{12} = 440$

(Question 4):

Step1: Convert meters to feet

1 meter ≈ 3.28084 feet, so $14 \times 3.28084 ≈ 45.93$ feet

Step2: Compare required vs available

Compare 45.93 feet to 55 feet

Answer:

Question 3: 440 feet
Question 4: No, there will not be enough extension cord. The 14-meter cord is approximately 45.93 feet, which is shorter than the required 55 feet.
