Answer:

13,200 feet

Explanation:

In one mile, there are 5,280 feet.

You're trying to find how many feet are in 2.5 miles, so you can set up a proportion.

X = the number of feet in 2.5 miles.

(1 mile )/(5280 feet) = (2.5 miles)/(X feet)

To find X, all you need to do is cross multiply.

So,

X = 5280 × 2.5 = 13,200 feet
