Sylvia walks 4 miles every evening. She is also a golfer. Since playing an average 18-hole golf course involves walking 6300 yards total, she wondered how many holes she walked the equivalent of every time she went for her evening walk. (By the way, don't worry about Sylvia. She hits the golf ball straight, so there's no walking from one side of the course to the other side when she plays golf.) What is the equivalent number of holes Sylvia walked each evening?
