Answer:
[tex]1320\ \text{feet}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance Thomas walked to the nearest gas station is [tex]\dfrac{1}{4}\ \text{mile}[/tex].
The conversion factor for miles to feet is
[tex]1\ \text{mile}=5280\ \text{feet}[/tex]
So
[tex]\dfrac{1}{4}\ \text{mile}=\dfrac{1}{4}\times 5280[/tex]
[tex]=1320\ \text{feet}[/tex]
Hence, Thomas had to walk [tex]1320\ \text{feet}[/tex] to get to the nearest gas station.
