Edwin's solution:
We must know that:
, with possible unit fractions ,
, with possible unit fractions ,
, with possible unit fractions ,
, with possible unit fractions ,
5280ft = 1mi, with possible unit fractions ,
We start by putting over :
Then we multiply by the unit fraction with
in the denominator, so it will cancel with the
in the numerator, so we now we have:
so that the 's will cancel:
Then we multiply by the unit fraction with
in the denominator, so it will cancel with the
in the numerator, so now we have:
and after canceling:
Then we multiply by the unit fraction with
in the denominator, so it will cancel with the
in the numerator, so now we have:
and after cancelling:
Then we multiply by the unit fraction with
in the denominator, so it will cancel with the
in the numerator, so now we have:
and after canceling:
Then we multiply by the unit fraction with
in the denominator, so it will cancel with the
in the numerator, so now we have:
and after canceling:
Putting together everything that hasn't been canceled:
Or just a tiny bit over 3.1 miles.
