Going to school takes 30 minutes and the school is 2 miles away.

Returning from school takes 30 minutes and the school is still 2 miles away.

A round trip totals 4 miles in this case.

The question is: How many yards in 4 miles?

There are 5280 feet in one mile.

For 4 miles, there are 5280 x 4 or 21,120 feet.

There are 3 feet in one yard.

So, 21,120 feet divided by 3 feet = 7040 yards.

There are 7040 yards in 4 miles.

Done!
