Answer 2

`\frac{\text{1 mile}}{\text{1760 yards}}`

We are asked to convert a distance of 4500 yards to miles.

We know that 1 mile equals 1760 yards.

To concert 4500 yards to miles, we will multiply 4500 yards by
`\frac{\text{1 mile}}{\text{1760 yards}}`.

`\text{4500 yards}* \frac{\text{1 mile}}{\text{1760 yards}}`

`\text{4500}* \frac{\text{1 mile}}{\text{1760}}`

Therefore, our required ratio would be
`\frac{\text{1 mile}}{\text{1760 yards}}`.
