Question

1000 feet is what in miles?

Answer 1

`1000` feet is `25/132` miles

Explanation:

A mile has `8` furlongs, each of which has `220` yards i.e. a mile has `8xx220=1760` yards. But as one yard has `3` feet, one mile has `3xx1760=5280` feet.

Hence `1000` feet is `1000/5280` miles. As numerator and denominator, both are divisible by `40`.

`1000/5280=(25xx40)/(132xx40)=25/132` miles
