Answer: Answers. B is incorrect because there are 5280 feet in a mile, not 5280 miles in a foot. That leaves you with A and C. Since you are already in feet and want to get to miles, you want miles in the numerator and feet in the denominator, because the 12,000 feet will cancel with the 5280 feet.

to convert feet to miles you can use te formula:


miles = feet / 5280 \\ so \\ miles = 12.00 / 5280 = \\ = 12.00 * (1)/(5280 )
