A farmer wishes to wire a shed that is $1$ mi. from the electricity source in his barn. He uses No.0 - gauge copper wire, which has a resistance of $\frac { 1 } { 10 }$ ohm $( \Omega )$ per 1,000 ft. What is the resistance for the $1$ mi of wire?
A) 0.66
B) 0.528
C) 2
D) 0.193
E) 0.806

The resistance for 1 mile (5280 feet) of No.0-gauge copper wire, with a resistance of $ \frac{1}{10} \Omega $ per 1000 feet, is calculated as follows: $ \frac{5280}{1000} \times \frac{1}{10} = 0.528 \Omega $.
