Answer:

  6864 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

In miles, the difference of distances is ...

  4.7 mi - 3.4 mi = 1.3 mi

We know there are 5280 feet per mile. In feet, that distance is ...

  (1.3 mi)×(5280 ft)/(1 mi) = (1.3×5280) ft = 6864 ft

Jane lives 6864 feet farther from the parlor than Sarah.
