Question

How to convert 264 yds/1 s to mi/day?

Answer 1

`12,960\ (miles)/(day)`

Explanation:

we know that

`1\ mile=1,760\ yards`

To convert yards to miles multiply by 1/1,760

`1\ hour=3,600\ seconds`

`1\ day=24\ hours`

so

`(24)3,600=86,400`

`1\ day=86,400\ seconds`

To convert seconds to day multiply by 1/86,400

In this problem we have

`264\ (yd)/(sec) =264\ ((1/1,760))/((1/86,400))=264\ ((86,400)/(1,760))=12,960\ (miles)/(day)`
