In 2010, Dario Franchitti won the indy 500 with a race speed of over 160 miles per hour. The race is 500 miles long. What is the length of the race in yards? In feet?

(500 miles) x (1,760 yards/mile) = 880,000 yards

(500 miles) x (5,280 feet/mile) = 2,640,000 feet

(500 miles) x (1.609 km/mile) = 804.67 km (rounded)
