D) 6,740.8

Answer 1

The area of the park is approximately 3.83 square miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of the park in square miles, we need to convert the area from square yards to square miles using the given conversion factor: 1 mile = 1,760 yards.

First, divide the area of the park in square yards by the number of square yards in a square mile:

11,863,808 square yards ÷ (1,760 yards × 1,760 yards) = 11,863,808 square yards ÷ 3,097,600 square yards = 3.83 square miles.

Therefore, the area of the park is approximately 3.83 square miles.
