Using Fermi estimation techniques, determine how many steps it would take you to walk from New York to Los Angeles, a distance of 2,462 miles. Remember to leave your answer in terms of the scale, not the exact answer. For example, the number 28 would be written as 10 because it is measured in the tens.

Part I: One step is approximately 3 feet. Use this information to calculate how many steps are in a mile.
