How many feet is .4 of a mile?

Well, if one mile is 5,280 feet and you are looking for 1 fourth of a mile... the formula for that would be to divide one fourth into 5,280 feet... I think. Solve it and see what you come up w/h. Or better yet, wait for some-one better at doing Algebra to come along and tell you the answer !! Or, take 5280 divide it by 10 then multiply it by 4 . like this 5280/10=528*4=2112 4 tenths of a mile equals 2112 feet
