Question

There are 12 inches in 1 foot and 5,280 feet in 1 mile. Jada ran 34 miles.

a. How many feet is that?
b. How many inches is that?

Answer 1

For this case we must convert 34 miles to feet and inches.

34 miles to feet:

`34 miles * \frac {5280} {1} * \frac {feet} {miles} = 179,520 feet`

Jada runs 179,520 feet

34 miles to inches:

`34 miles * \frac {5280} {1} * \frac {feet} {miles} * \frac {12} {1} * \frac {inches} {foot} = 2,154,240 inches`

Jada runs 2,154,240 inches

Answer:

Jada ran 179,520 feet

Jada ran 2,154,240 inches
