Question

Christy’s sister, Chelsea, works in a nearby building that is 720 feet tall. What is the height of Chelsea’s building in miles? Express the answer as a fraction in simplest form.

Answer 1

3/22, a mile is 5,280ft so you put 720 over 5,280(720/5,280) and simplify it to get 3/22

Answer 2

3/22

Explanation:

3/22, a mile is 5,280ft so you put 720 over 5,280(720/5,280) and simplify it to get 3/22 or 1 mile = 5280 feet

1 foot = 1/5280 mile

1/ 5280 × 720 = 720/5280 =3/22
