Hey there!
According to our customary units of miles, 1 mile is equal to 5,280 feet - and 3 feet is a yard. That means, we have to divide 5,280 by 3 to figure out how many yards are in a mile:
5280/3 = 1760
That means that one mile is 1760 yards. But we're not finished yet. It says 1/5 miles, not one mile. Therefore, we take one half of the total distance in yards of a mile and add it to that 1760, because it's 1.5, or 1-and-a-half. Which, in technical terms means "1-plus-a-half".
We have:
1760 + 1760/2 = 1760 + 880 = 2640
Therefore, 1/5 miles, since it's 2640 yards, is greater than the 2500 yards specified in the question.
Hope this helps!
In order to round a number to the nearest thousandths, we have to check the number in the ten thousandths place:
1- If the number in the ten thousandths is less than 5, then the thousandths number will remain the same and all numbers after it will be converted to zeroes.
2- If the number in the ten thousandths is equal to or greater than 5, then the thousandths number will be incremented by 1 and all numbers after it will be converted to zeroes.
Applying this to the given number:
<span>1.80431
</span>The number in the ten thousandths position is 3 which is less than 5.
Therefore, rounding <span>1.80431 to the nearest thousandths will be:
</span>1.80400 which is equivalent to 1.804
Subtract what is to the right of the equal sign form both side of the equation but any way the answer is 0
Answer: They have 775 miles left to be traveled
Step-by-step explanation:
Miles required to travel for vacation = 1,325 miles
Miles already traveled = Miles driven this week + miles driven today
= 420 miles + 130 miles
-=550 miles
Miles remaining to be covered =Miles required to travel for vacation --- Miles already traveled
= 1,325 miles - 550 miles
= 775 miles
