Hi

For all you mathematicians out there, please can you help with this local quiz clue:

My head is throbbing!!!

Thanks

1 mile = 5,280 feet
1 pole = 16.5 feet
1 yard = 3 feet

and they wonder why people no longer use imperial measurements!

Just look at a conversion table.

One pole = y feet (look it up)
So 36 poles is 36y feet.

A mile is 5280 feet. So you can convert 36 miles to feet.

5 yards = 15 feet

Add them up.
I'll leave you to finish off

If I've done the multiplying and addition correctly, I make the answer 190,689 but check it out yourself to see if it tallies.
