    220 dashes

    Step-by-step explanation:

    According to data given,

    There are 1760 yards in 1 mile.

    One dash is 3 yards long followed by a space of 5 yards. Now for ease, consider the empty space and yard as one complete dash.

    Suppose, x is the total number of complete dashes.

    Where 1 complete dash has a length of 8 yards (3 + 5)

    So equation becomes

    1760 = 8 (x)

    x = 1760/8

    x = 220

    So, Daniel painted 220 dashes on a one mile long road.
