Question

If 3413 steps=1.27 miles, how many steps equal 1 mile?

Answer 1

Hi!

To solve this, let's set up a proportion. 

$\frac{3413}{1.27} \frac{x}{1}$
Cross multiply to solve for x.
3413 x 1 = 3413
3413/1.27 = 2687.40157

The answer is 2687.40157.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

Hi there!

3413 steps = 1.27 miles.
To find the amount of steps in 1 mile, we must divide both sides by 1.27.

3413 / 1.27 steps = 1.27 / 1.27 miles
2687.4 steps = 1 mile.
Hence, in order to walk at least 1 mile, we must take 2688 steps.
