The answer is A because there is 5280 feet in one mile

That would be A. The units multiply and divide just like the numbers:


12000 \textrm{ feet} * \frac{1 \textrm{ mile}}{5280 \textrm{ feet}}

We need feet in the denominator of our scale factor to cancel with the feet we're multiplying by, and miles in the numerator so it becomes the unit of our result.
