Question

Convert 39 yards into miles. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

The conversion from yards to miles is given by:

`1\text{ mile }\to1760\text{ yards}`

The conversion factor is:

`\frac{1\text{ mile}}{1760\text{ yards}}`

Now, if we want to know how many miles are 39 yards, we multiply 39 yards by the conversion factor:

`39\text{ yards }\cdot\frac{1\text{ mile}}{1760\text{ yards}}\approx0.02\text{ miles}`
