Answer to Problem 49P

The result is 3.5miles = 6160yds.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

  $3.5mi=\_yd$

Calculation:

The objective is to convert miles to yards

The given units are customary units of lengths. For conversion, refer to conversion table:

Unit 1	Unit 2
1 foot (ft.)	12 inches
1 yard	3 feet
1 mile	1760 yds.

Since 1 mile has 1760 yards, multiply 1760 by 3.5

  $\begin{array}{l}3.5miles=1760\times 3.5\\ =6160yds\\ or\\ 3.5miles=6160yds\end{array}$

Conclusion:

Therefore, the result is 3.5miles = 6160yds.
