Dominic and Terrell are planning a weekend backpacking trip. Dominic wants to hike fox trail, which is 6 miles long. Terrell wants to take western trail, which is 7,920 yards. Which trail is longer? How much longer is it in miles and yards? Show your work.

Answer 1

the correct answer is Fox trail is longer... the western trail is only 4.5 miles long while fox trail is 6 that's a one and a half mile difference or in yards it would be 2460

Answer 2

1 mile equals 1760 yards
6 x 1760 = 10560
now the last step is to do 10560-7920=2640 so
Dominics trail will be longer by 2640 feet
