Question

The steps below show the work of a student used to calculate the number of yards in 804.5 meters.

Answer 1

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

804.5 meters. to yards

Step 1:

(1 mile = 1,609 meters)

(1 mile = 1,760 yards)

1,609 meters is being multiplied by conversion factor 1 mile over 804.5 meters equals 2 miles

 1,609 meter    x        1 mile         =   2 miles

                               804.5 meters                                        

Step 2:

(1 mile = 1,609 meters)

(1 mile = 1,760 yards)

2 miles is being multiplied by conversion factor 1760 yards over 1 mile equals 3,520 yards

2 miles   x  1,760 yards   =   3,520 yards

                        1 mile

no need of step 3.  the conversion  below should be on step 2.

to convert miles into yards.

(1 mile = 1,609 meters)

(1 mile = 1,760 yards)
