Question

Suppose that a particular artillery piece has a range of R=9240 yards. Find the range in miles

Answer 1

Answer:

5.25[mile]

Explanation:

We must remember that the yard is a measure of length of the imperial system and that a Mile is also a unit of length of that system.

Therefore we must use a conversion factor that relates the yard to the mile.

$9240 [yard]*[\frac{0,000568182miles}{1yard} ]=5.25[miles]$
