Question

How do you find out how many $\text{feet}$ are in a $\mathrm{mile}$?

Answer 1

Finding how many $\mathbf{\text{feet}}$ in a $\mathbf{mile}$.

There are$1760\mathrm{yards}$ in a $\mathrm{mile}$ and $3$$\text{feet}$ in a $\mathrm{yard}$.

So,

$\begin{array}{rcl}1\mathrm{mile}& =& 1760\mathrm{yards}\\ 1\mathrm{yard}& =& 3\mathrm{feet}\end{array}$

So, the number of $\text{feet}$ in a $\mathrm{mile}$:

$\begin{array}{rcl}1\mathrm{mile}& =& 1760\times 3\\ & =& 5280\mathrm{feet}\end{array}$

Hence, there are $\mathbf{5280}\mathbf{feet}$ in a $\mathbf{mile}$.
