Question

Which single conversion factor would you use to find out how many miles are in 8,462 yards?

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 1 mile / 1,760 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

A single conversion factor is a number that we can multiply directly with 8,462 yards to determine how many yards are there in 8,462 yards.

Since 1 mile is to 1,760 yards, the single conversion factor to use in determining how many miles a number of yards would be = 1 mile/1,760 yards = $\frac{1}{1,760}$

Thus, to find out many miles are in 8,462 yards, multiply by $\frac{1}{1,760}$.

$8,462*\frac{1}{1,760} = \frac{8,462}{1,760} = 4.8$ miles
