Question

A trail around a river is 3 1/4 miles long. What is the length, in feet, of the trail?

Answer 1

Answer: 17160 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 5280 feet = 1 mile

So all we have to do is multiply 3 1/4 by 5280

Let's split the 3 and 1/4 up to make the multiplication easier

3×5280=15840

$\frac{1}{4}$×5280=$\frac{5280}{4} =1320$

Now add them together

15840+1320=17160
