How many feet are in a mile?

5,280 feet
1,760 feet
3,280 feet
4,000 feet

The correct answer is: 5,280 feet

A mile is defined as exactly 5,280 feet based on the British imperial system of measurement. This is a standard measurement that is widely recognized and used in various contexts, such as road signs in the United States. The other options reflect measurements that are often confused with a mile but do not accurately represent its length. For example, 1,760 feet is equal to one mile in terms of yards (since one mile is also equal to 1,760 yards), but this does not directly answer the question regarding feet. Similarly, 3,280 feet corresponds to one kilometer, which is another unit of distance often used in different measurement systems. The 4,000 feet measurement does not relate to any standard distance measurement equivalent to a mile. Thus, understanding that a mile specifically equates to 5,280 feet is crucial for correctly recognizing lengths in both commonly used and educational contexts.
