Answer for screen readers
The distance in miles is calculated as follows: $$ d_{miles} = 2 $$
Steps to Solve
-
Identify the Conversion Factor We know that 1 mile is equal to 5280 feet. This is our conversion factor.
-
Set Up the Conversion If we denote the distance in feet as $d_{feet}$, to convert to miles, we can use the formula: $$ d_{miles} = \frac{d_{feet}}{5280} $$
-
Perform the Calculation Substituting the value of $d_{feet}$ into the formula will give us the distance in miles. For example, if $d_{feet} = 10560$, we compute: $$ d_{miles} = \frac{10560}{5280} $$
-
Simplify the Result Finally, we simplify the result to find the final answer.
The distance in miles is calculated as follows: $$ d_{miles} = 2 $$
More Information
