Answer 1

Answer: The values is 2.5 miles converted to 158,400 inches

Explanation:

• 12 inches = 1 foot and

• 5280 feet = 1 mile

Convert 2.5 miles to inches

Convert inches to feet :

5280 feet is equivalent to 1 mile

x = 2.5 miles

x = 5280 x 2.5

x = 13200 feet

Then convert 13,200 feet to inches

Because 12 inches is equivalent to 1 foot

x = 13200 feet

x = 12 x 13200

x = 158,400 inches

Therefore 2.5 miles converted to inches is 158,400 inches
