Question

If 1 yard = 3 feet and 1 mile = 5,280 feet, how many yards are there in 2 miles? 2,640 yards 3,520 yards 10,560 yards 31,680 yards

Answer 1

To solve this, you first have to find the number of yards in one mile.

If three feet = 1 yard, and 5280 ft = 1 mile, all you have to do to find the number of yards in a mile is divide 5280 feet by 3 feet.

You end up with 1760 yards in 1 mile.

To find the number of yards in 2 miles, all you would have to do is multiply 1760 by 2

1760 x 2 = 3520 yards
