Let's solve each of these customary unit conversion problems step by step. We'll convert between
yards (yd),
feet (ft),
inches (in), and
miles (mi) using the standard conversion factors:
Conversion Factors:
- 1 mile (mi) = 1760 yards (yd)
- 1 yard (yd) = 3 feet (ft)
- 1 foot (ft) = 12 inches (in)
---
We’ll go through each problem one by one.
---
1) 43,653 yd = ______ mi
Convert yards to miles:
$$
\frac{43,653}{1760} \approx 24.8028 \text{ mi}
$$
So,
≈ 24.80 mi (rounded to two decimal places)
✔ Answer: 24.80 mi
---
2) 3 ft = ______ mi
First, convert feet to miles:
1 mi = 5280 ft →
$$
\frac{3}{5280} = 0.00056818 \text{ mi}
$$
So,
≈ 0.00057 mi (rounded to 6 decimal places)
✔ Answer: 0.00057 mi
---
3) 39,290 ft = ______ mi
$$
\frac{39,290}{5280} \approx 7.4356 \text{ mi}
$$
✔ Answer: 7.44 mi (rounded to two decimal places)
---
4) 1,027 yd = ______ mi
$$
\frac{1,027}{1760} \approx 0.5835 \text{ mi}
$$
✔ Answer: 0.58 mi (rounded to two decimal places)
---
5) 7,250 ft = ______ yd
Since 1 yd = 3 ft:
$$
\frac{7,250}{3} \approx 2,416.67 \text{ yd}
$$
✔ Answer: 2,416.67 yd
---
6) 11,629 yd = ______ mi
$$
\frac{11,629}{1760} \approx 6.6074 \text{ mi}
$$
✔ Answer: 6.61 mi (rounded to two decimal places)
---
7) 94 yd = ______ mi
$$
\frac{94}{1760} \approx 0.0534 \text{ mi}
$$
✔ Answer: 0.05 mi (rounded to two decimal places)
---
8) 32,398 in = ______ yd
Step 1: Convert inches to feet:
$$
\frac{32,398}{12} = 2,699.833... \text{ ft}
$$
Step 2: Convert feet to yards:
$$
\frac{2,699.833}{3} \approx 899.944 \text{ yd}
$$
✔ Answer: 899.94 yd (rounded to two decimal places)
---
9) 6 yd = ______ mi
$$
\frac{6}{1760} \approx 0.00341 \text{ mi}
$$
✔ Answer: 0.0034 mi (rounded to four decimal places)
---
10) 942 in = ______ ft
$$
\frac{942}{12} = 78.5 \text{ ft}
$$
✔ Answer: 78.5 ft
---
11) 28,003 yd = ______ mi
$$
\frac{28,003}{1760} \approx 15.9108 \text{ mi}
$$
✔ Answer: 15.91 mi (rounded to two decimal places)
---
12) 85,543 in = ______ mi
Step 1: Convert inches to feet:
$$
\frac{85,543}{12} = 7,128.5833 \text{ ft}
$$
Step 2: Convert feet to miles:
$$
\frac{7,128.5833}{5280} \approx 1.3505 \text{ mi}
$$
✔ Answer: 1.35 mi (rounded to two decimal places)
---
