We need to find height in miles.

Hence, we need to convert 73,568.417 from feet to miles.

The table tells us 5280 feet = 1 mile

Then, we can use the rule of three:

5280 feet ---------------1 mile

73,568.417 feet ----------- x miles

Then,

x = ( 73,568.417 feet/ 5280 feet ) * 1 mile

x = 13.93341231061

Rounded to the nearest tenth:

x = 13.3
