Question

8mi 200 yds - 2 mi 528 yds =

Answer 1

8mi 200yds - 2mi 528yds

= 5mi 1432yds

Explanation:

1 mile = 1760 yards

8 miles = 7miles + 1 mile = 7 miles + 1760 miles = 7 miles 1760 yards

8miles 200 yards = 7miles + 1760 yards + 200 yards = 7miles + 1960 yards

then:

8mi 200 yds - 2 mi 528 yds = 7mi 1960yds - 2mi 528yds

7mi 1960yds

- 2mi 528yds

= 5mi 1432yds

Answer 2

5 mi 1432 yds

Explanation:

8mi 200 yds

- 2 mi 528 yds

---------------------------

We have to borrow 1 mile and convert to yards

1 mile = 1760 yds

7mi 200+1760 yds

- 2 mi 528 yds

---------------------------

7mi 1960 yds

- 2 mi 528 yds

---------------------------

5 mi 1432 yds
