Question

To convert a distance of 2200 yards to miles, which ratio could you multiply by? Remember that 1 mile=1760yards

Answer 1

You simply multiply by 1 divided by the ratio for 1 mile. Thus we get that $2200$ yards is equal to $2200\cdot \frac{1}{1760}=1.25$.

Answer 2

Multiply both sides by 2200/1760 * 2200/1760 and you get 1.25
