Answer: See below

Explanation:

First, we will use the conversions that you provided to find how many feet are in 3 miles. Since we know that one mile = 5,280 feet, all we have to do is multiply that number by 3 to find the conversion.

5,280 * 3 = 15,840 feet

Now, we can use the value found above to find how many inches are in 3 miles. We know that 12 inches are in one foot, so we have to multiply 12 by 15,840. This equals 190,080 inches.

I hope this helps, and if you need me to show you the step-by-step work for multiplication, let me know!
