To determine the correct units for the converted rate in this problem, let’s analyze the unit conversions step-by-step:

1. Initial Units: Starting with $2 \, \text{miles}$.
2. First Conversion: Multiply by $\frac{5280 \, \text{feet}}{1 \, \text{mile}}$ to convert miles to feet. The "miles" units cancel out, leaving us with feet.
3. Second Conversion: Multiply by $\frac{12 \, \text{inches}}{1 \, \text{foot}}$ to convert feet to inches. The "feet" units cancel out, leaving us with inches.

After these conversions, we’re left with inches as the final unit.

Answer

The correct answer is:

• inches
