Question

Which is greater 3 miles or 5,000 yards? How much greater? Explain.

Answer 1

3 miles because one mile equals 1760 yards. If you multiply 1760 times 3 it would equal 5280.

Answer 2

3 miles is greater than 5000 yards by 280 yards.

Explanation:

There are 1760 yards in a mile.

3*1760=5280

That means there are 5280 yards in 3 miles.

5280 > 5000

This means that:

3 miles > 5000 yards

Now, we can find the difference.

5280-5000=280

3 miles is greater than 5000 yards by 280 yards.
