Question

The distance between Maggie’s home and her school is 5,280 yards. The distance she rides to school and back every day is yards, or miles. (Hint: 1 mile = 1,760 yards.)

Answer 1

1 mile = 1760 yards

Therefore,

5280 yards = 5280 / 1760 = 3 miles

Answer 2

Answer:

10,560 yards; 6 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 1760 yards in a mile.

5280/1760 = 3

From her home to school, the distance is 5280 yards or 3 miles.

From home to school and back it's 2 * 5280 yards or 2 * 3 miles.

Answer: 10,560 yards; 6 miles
