Question

A measurement of 14565 ft can be converted to A miles, B yards, C feet. Find A, B, and C.

The answer the teacher posted was:
A= 2
B= 1335
C= 0

But I'm not quite sure how she got that answer. Can anyone help me out? :)

Answer 1

A - 2.75 miles

B - 4855 yards

C - 14565 ft

Explanation:

A ) Converting feet to miles

We Know that 1 feet = 0.000189394

Then

14565 feet = 14565 X 0.000189394

14565 feet = 2.75 miles

B ) Converting feet to yards

We know that 1 feet = 0.333333 yards

So

14565 ft = 14565 ft x 0.333333

14565 feet = 4855 yards

C ) Converting feet to feet

Here there is conversion because the value is already in feet

So its 14565 feet
