units for numerical question

[wenner]

Does anyone know if there is a way to have units show after the blank for entering a numerical answer.  Something like this?

Priscilla,

I saw those items but my question is a little different. I don’t want the students to type the units with their answers (although I understand why someone would want that as well), I would like units to show after the box where they would type their answers. So, for example:

How many feet in a mile?
