This is a conversion problem. We know that 1 mile is 5280 feet, right? Since Ellie lives 2 miles, and two is double of 1, we just take 5280 and multiply that by two (or add it twice) to find how many feet is between Ellie's house and school. 5280 x 2 = 10560 (you get the same answer if you add 5280 twice). Therefore, 10560 feet lies between Ellie's house and school.
In the situation '<span>Each letter of the English alphabet is written on a scrap of paper and put in a hat p(j)= 1/26', the type of probability illustrated is classical or mathematical probability. This is because 1 represents the number of expected outcomes of the event while 26 represents the total number of outcomes.</span>
In order to solve this problem you have to add the distance Harriet traveled away from her starting point which is 2 1/4+3/4. Then you should end up with 3 miles. After that it says she went back on the same route so you have to double the distance. So in total she rode 6 miles.
