Question

How many yards go into one and three fourths miles?

Answer 1

One and three fourths miles have `3080` yards.

Explanation:

Each mile has `8` furlong and each furlong has `220` yards

so each mile has `8xx220=1760` yards and

as `1 3/4` miles are `4/4+3/4=7/4` miles

`1 3/4` miles have

`7/4xx1760=7/(cancel4^1)xxcancel1760^440=3080` yards.
