Question

1. what is 2,220 yards in miles? round to the nearest tenth of a mile. note: 1 mile = 1,760 yards

Explanation:

Step1: Set up conversion formula

To convert yards to miles, use the conversion factor \(1\) mile \( = 1760\) yards. The formula is \(\text{miles} = \frac{\text{yards}}{1760}\).
Substitute the given yards (\(2220\)) into the formula: \(\text{miles} = \frac{2220}{1760}\).

Step2: Perform the division

Calculate \(\frac{2220}{1760}\approx1.26136\).

Step3: Round to the nearest tenth

Look at the hundredth place (6) to round the tenths place (2). Since \(6\geq5\), we round up the tenths place: \(1.3\).

Answer:

\(1.3\) miles
