The Fred Hartman Bridge allows Texas State Road 146 to cross the Houston ship channel. The bridge is 0.237 mile long. How many feet long is the bridge?
Multiply:
0.237 * 5,280 = ?
To convert miles to feet, we can use the fact that there are 5,280 feet in one mile.
So, to find the length of the bridge in feet, we can multiply the length in miles by 5,280.
Length of the Fred Hartman Bridge in feet = 0.237 mile * 5,280 feet/mile
Calculating this, we get:
Length of the Fred Hartman Bridge in feet = 1,250.16 feet
Therefore, the Fred Hartman Bridge is approximately 1,250.16 feet long.
