StartFraction 12 kilometers Over 1 EndFraction times StartFraction 0. 62 miles Over 1 kilometer EndFraction times StartFraction 5280 feet Over 1 mile EndFraction = 392,832 feet Sila put a wrong number in her calculator when multiplying the numerators.

Answer 1

umm i'm not rly sure what's going on here...but here's how i'd do it

Explanation:

3280.84x12=39370.08 which is about 3,9370 feet.

to double check let's do an algebraic expression

1/3280.84=x/12 cross multiply

x(1)=3280.84(12) simplify

x=39370.08

hope that helped.
