Final answer:

To convert the race distance from furlongs to yards, we multiply the number of furlongs by 220 (since one furlong equals 220 yards). Hence, a race of 28 furlongs is 6160 yards long.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert distance from furlongs to yards, you need to know that one furlong is equal to 220 yards. So, for the race distance mentioned, you would multiply the number of furlongs by 220.

In this case, 28 furlongs x 220 yards per furlong equals 6160 yards. So, the race is 6160 yards long.
