Answer:

1 mile is equal to 1,760 yards. Therefore, 3 miles is equal to 3 x 1,760 = 5,280 yards.

Comparing 5,280 yards to 1,000 yards, we can see that 5,280 yards is greater than 1,000 yards.

To determine how much greater, we can subtract 1,000 from 5,280:

5,280 - 1,000 = 4,280

Therefore, 3 miles is 4,280 yards greater than 1,000 yards.
