Suppose that a particular artillery piece has a range r = 8320 yards . find its range in miles. use the facts that 1mile=5280ft and 3ft=1yard.

Respuesta :

8320yards X 3ft = 24,960 divide that by 5,280ft in a mile and you get 4.72 miles

The range in miles is 4.72 mile

What do you mean by 1 mile?

mile, any of various units of distance, such as the statute mile of 5,280 feet (1.609 km). It originated from the Roman mille passus, or “thousand paces,” which measured 5,000 Roman feet.

Given : range= 8320 yards

1 mile= 5280 feet

3 feet= 1 yard

Now,

8320yards X 3ft = 24,960

Now,  divide that by 5,280ft in a mile

= 24960/5280

= 4.72 miles

Hence, range is 4.72 miles.
