Problem

Sarah is planning a road trip from her home to a national park. She needs to calculate the distance in inches, feet, yards, and miles. The total distance from her home to the park is 320,000 inches. She knows that 1 foot equals 12 inches, 1 yard equals 3 feet, and 1 mile equals 1,760 yards. How far is the national park in feet, yards, and miles from her home?

2

Step

Start with the total distance in inches, which is 320,000 inches.

3

Step

Convert inches to feet:

\$ (320,000 "inches") / (12 "inches per foot") = 26,666.67 "feet" \$

4

Step

Convert feet to yards:

\$ (26,666.67 "feet") / (3 "feet per yard") = 8,888.89 "yards" \$

5

Step

Convert yards to miles:

\$ (8,888.89 "yards") / (1,760 "yards per mile") = 5.05 "miles" \$

6

Step

So, the distance from Sarah’s home to the national park is approximately:

26,666.67 feet,
8,888.89 yards,
5.05 miles
