We have the following variables:
H = Haley's house
E= Ellen's house
D = Dirk's house

In the figure below we can see the representation of this problem.

Given that there are two measurements with different units, namely, the distance between Haley and Ellen's houses is in miles and the distance between Haley and Dirk's houses is in feet, we need to convert one of these units.

As the final question demands which house is farther away from Haley's, we will convert the distance between Haley and Ellen's houses from miles to feet, so:

1mi = 5280ft

1.41mi(\frac{5280ft}{1mi}) = 7444.8ft

So:
The distance between Haley and Ellen's houses = 7444.8ft
The distance between Haley and Dirk's houses = 6547ft

Then Ellen's house is farther away from haley's, and <span>the nearest whole foot is:
</span>7444ft

Answer: Ellen's house is farther away by 898 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The distance between Haley's house and Ellen's house = 1.41 miles

We know that 1 mile = 5,280 feet

Then, 1.41\text{ miles}=1.41\times5,280\text{ feet}=7,444.8\text{ feet}

The distance between Haley's house and Dirk's house = 6,547 feet

Clearly, 6,547<7,444.8

And 7444.8-6547= 897.8\approx898

Therefore, Ellen's house is farther away by 898 feet.
