Explanation:
To find out how many inches are in 6.2 miles, we can follow a few conversion steps:
- First, convert miles to yards using the conversion fact that 1 mile equals 1760 yards.
- Then, convert yards to feet knowing that 1 yard equals 3 feet.
- Lastly, convert feet to inches, since 1 foot equals 12 inches.
- Now, let's do the math.
6.2 miles x 1760 yards/mile = 10912 yards
10912 yards x 3 feet/yard = 32736 feet
32736 feet x 12 inches/foot = 392832 inches
Therefore, 6.2 miles is equivalent to 392832 inches, which is not one of the options provided. The closest answer from the options given would be (c) 659,520 inches, but it appears there may be an error in the provided options.
