Question

Choose the ratio that you would use to convert 880 miles to yards. Remember that there are 1,760 yards in one mile.

Answer 1

If you want to convert 2.4 hours into minutes, you would multiply 60 minutes/1hour to it and get 144 minutes.

Answer 2

I'm not sure if i'm 100% Right! :/

Answer 3

\[miles~ \rightarrow~yards\]

Answer 4

Remember that 1,760 yards in one mile, so the equivalent conversion factors derived from this identiy are \[\frac{ 1760~yards }{ 1~mile }=1~and~\frac{ 1~mile }{ 1760 yards }=1\]

Answer 5

Ohh.

Answer 6

We want to get rid of the unit "miles" in favor of "yards."

Example: 2 miles = ? yards

Multiply 2 miles by the conversion factor \[\frac{ 1760~yards }{ 1~mile }=1\] We know this is the correct factor to use because "miles" will cancel and leave us with "yards."

\[\frac{ 2~miles }{ 1}*\frac{ 1760~yards }{ 1~mile }=3520~yards.\]

Answer 7

Now, would you plese follow this example, and convert 880 miles to yards.
