q. bevin ran around an oval track 8 times. the distance around the track is 440 yards. how far did bevin run in miles?

use the fact: 1 mile = 5,280 feet

Explanation:

Calculate total distance in yards

$$ \text{Total Yards} = 8 \times 440 = 3520\text{ yards} $$

Convert yards to feet

$$ \text{Total Feet} = 3520\text{ yards} \times 3\text{ feet/yard} = 10560\text{ feet} $$

Convert feet to miles

$$ \text{Total Miles} = \frac{10560\text{ feet}}{5280\text{ feet/mile}} = 2\text{ miles} $$
