Question

If there were a million cars in line, bumper to bumper, with average length of 9.65 feet, how long would that line be in miles? Round your answer to the nearest mile.

Answer 1

Length of 1 car = 9.65 feet

There are a million cars bumper to bumper.

Therefore total length = 9.65*1,000,000 = 9,650,000 feet

Now we have to convert feet into miles

1 mile = 5,280 feet

Therefore 1 foot = 1/5,280 mile

Therefore 9,650,000 feet = 9,650,000 * 1/5,280 = 1,827.65 miles

Length in miles = 1,828 miles (Rounded to the nearest mile)
