To calculate the distance between the refreshment stands, we need to first determine how many gaps there are between them. Since there are 8 refreshment stands in total, there are 9 sections between them (including the beginning and end).
To find the distance between the refreshment stands in feet, we can divide the total length of the parade route (34 miles or 179,040 feet) by the number of sections:
179,040 feet / 9 sections = 19,840 feet
Therefore, the refreshment stands are 440 feet apart.
