Question

What is 3 1/2 Miles - 3520 yards converted to Miles

Answer 1

3.5 miles=6160 yards
6160-3520=2640yards
= 1.5 miles

Answer 2

we are given

$3\frac{1}{2} miles-3520 yards$

Since, we have to find our value in miles

so, we need to change everything in terms of miles

and then we can combine them

so, we will have to change 3520 yards into miles

we know that

$1 mile =1760 yards$

or we can also write it as

$1760 yards=1 miles$

now, we can find for 1 yard

so, we can divide both sides by 1760

$\frac{1760}{1760} yard =\frac{1}{1760} mile$

$1yard =\frac{1}{1760} mile$

now, we can find for 3520 yards

so, we can multiply both sides by 3520

$3520*1yard =3520*\frac{1}{1760} mile$

$3520yards =2 mile$

now, we can replace it in our expression

$=3\frac{1}{2} miles-2miles$

now, we can simplify it

$=(3+\frac{1}{2}) miles-2miles$

$=(3+\frac{1}{2}-2) miles$

$=(1+\frac{1}{2}) miles$

$=\frac{3}{2} miles$.................Answer
