Suppose that a particular artillery piece has a range r = 3600 yards . find its range in miles. use the facts that 1mile=5280ft and 3ft=1yard.

Respuesta :

The range of the artillery piece in miles is: 2.045 miles

To solve this problem the we have to do the conversion of units with the given information.

Information about the problem:

  • r = 3600 yards
  • 1mile=5280ft
  • 3ft=1yard
  • r(miles)=?

By converting the range units from yards to feet and then to miles we have:

r = 3600 yards * 3 ft/1 yard

r = 10800 ft * 1mile/5280ft

r = 2.045 miles

What is unit conversion?

It is the transformation of a value expressed in one unit of measurement into an equivalent value expressed in another unit of measurement of the same nature.
