1 mile is equal to

• A. 5,280 ft; 320 rods
• B. 4,000 ft; 320 rods
• C. 5,000 ft; 300 rods
• D. 6,000 ft; 380 rods

Answer: (A)

Converting distance units is what's being tested here. A mile is defined as 5,280 feet, and a rod is 16.5 feet long. Since 5,280 ÷ 16.5 equals 320, there are 320 rods in a mile. Therefore, a mile equals 5,280 feet and 320 rods, which is why that listing is correct. The other options mix feet and rod counts that don’t align with these standard conversions.
