The formula \( f = 5280m \) can be used to convert a measurement of \( f \) feet to an equivalent measurement of \( m \) miles. If an airplane flies at 35,300 miles above the ground, how much is that in feet?

A. 186,384,000 feet
B. 6.7 feet
C. 194,234,000 feet
D. 7.2 feet

Answer :

Option A

If an airplane flies at 35,300 miles above the ground, then it is 186384000 in feet

Solution:

Given that

Formula f = 5280m can be used for measurement of f feet to an equivalent measurement of m miles.

Given that airplane flies at 35,300 miles above the ground . need to calculate how much feet is airplane above the ground.

Means need to calculate f when m = 35300 miles

On substituting m = 35300 in given formula , we get

[tex]f=5280 \times 35300=186384000 \text { feet }[/tex]

Thus Option A is correct.
