Convert all the distances to a single unit

To convert all the distances to a single unit, let's choose feet as the common unit for uniform comparison. We will convert miles and inches to feet, as some distances are already given in feet. 

### Conversion Factors:
- **1 mile = 5280 feet**
- **1 inch = 1/12 feet**

Let's convert each distance to feet:

1. **Yellowstone:**
   - Feet: 5280 feet
   - Inches: 1200 inches to feet
   \[
   \text{Inches to Feet} = \frac{1200}{12} = 100 \text{ feet}
   \]
   - **Total Distance in Feet**: \(5280 + 100 = 5380 \text{ feet}\)

2. **Denver:**
   - Miles: 1 mile to feet
   \[
   \text{Miles to Feet} = 1 \times 5280 = 5280 \text{ feet}
   \]
   - **Total Distance in Feet**: \(5280 \text{ feet}\)

3. **Austin:**
   - Feet: 144 feet
   - **Total Distance in Feet**: \(144 \text{ feet}\)

4. **Branson:**
   - Feet: 1200 feet
   - **Total Distance in Feet**: \(1200 \text{ feet}\)

5. **Outer Banks:**
   - Feet: 386 feet
   - **Total Distance in Feet**: \(386 \text{ feet}\)

6. **New York City:**
   - Inches: 600 inches to feet
   \[
   \text{Inches to Feet} = \frac{600}{12} = 50 \text{ feet}
   \]
   - **Total Distance in Feet**: \(50 \text{ feet}\)

7. **Maine:**
   - Miles: 2 miles to feet
   \[
   \text{Miles to Feet} = 2 \times 5280 = 10560 \text{ feet}
   \]
   - **Total Distance in Feet**: \(10560 \text{ feet}\)

### Summary of Distances in Feet:

| **City**         | **Distance in Feet** |
|------------------|----------------------|
| Yellowstone      | 5380                 |
| Denver           | 5280                 |
| Austin           | 144                  |
| Branson          | 1200                 |
| Outer Banks      | 386                  |
| New York City    | 50                   |
| Maine            | 10560                |

### Follow-Up Questions:
1. Would you like to determine the city with the shortest and longest distance?
2. Are there any specific cities you are interested in comparing?
3. Would you like to convert these distances to another unit, such as miles or inches?
4. Are you interested in finding the average distance across all cities?
5. Would you like to visualize these distances on a graph for better comparison?

### Tip:
When comparing distances, consider using both relative and absolute differences to gain more insights into the variations between different locations.
