Math Problem Statement

Convert. Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction or as a whole or mixed number. HOW MANY FEET EQUALS 7 3/4 MILES

Solution

To convert miles to feet, we use the conversion factor:

1 mile=5280 feet1 \text{ mile} = 5280 \text{ feet}

Now, to convert 7347 \frac{3}{4} miles to feet:

  1. First, convert the mixed number into an improper fraction: 734=7×4+34=3147 \frac{3}{4} = \frac{7 \times 4 + 3}{4} = \frac{31}{4}

  2. Now, multiply the improper fraction by 5280 (the number of feet in 1 mile): 314×5280=31×52804=1636804=40920\frac{31}{4} \times 5280 = \frac{31 \times 5280}{4} = \frac{163680}{4} = 40920

Thus, 7347 \frac{3}{4} miles equals 40,920 feet.
