It's always handy to have these available, but be sure you know how to do it by hand.

Answer 4

type the same question in gogle bar you will find the answer quickly

1 mile = 5 280 feet

Answer 5

12 inch a feet

Answer 6

Most people will say 5280 but it really depends on how many people are standing there!! If there was 2640 people then there is 5280 ft. there

Answer 7

In modern usage, various distances are referred to as a mile.


Statute miles
A statute of the English parliament during the reign of Elizabeth I established the statute mile as eight furlongs or 1,760 yards; that is, 5,280 feet or 63,360 inches. Prior to the statute, the mile in England was commonly considered 5,000 feet, a length not divisible into yards, rods, or furlongs without fractions. There are two slightly different statute miles in current use:

The international mile is the distance typically meant when the word mile is used without qualification. It is defined to be precisely 1,760 international yards (by definition, 0.9144 m each) and is therefore exactly 1,609.344 metres (1.609344 km). It is used in the United States and the United Kingdom as part of the U.S. customary and Imperial systems of units, respectively. The international mile is equivalent to 8 furlongs, 80 chains or 5,280 international feet.

The U.S. survey mile is based on an inch defined by 1 metre = 39.37 inches exactly. It is equal to 5,280 U.S. survey feet, 6,336/3,937 km or approximately 1,609.347 metres. One international mile is equal to 0.999 998 survey miles. The survey mile is used by the United States Public Land Survey System.


Nautical miles

On the Utility of the Nautical Mile
Each circle shown is a great circle – The analog of a line in Spherical Trigonometry – and hence the shortest path connecting two points on the globular surface.The international nautical mile originated from the geographical mile (one and one-eighth by the original definition) and is now internationally defined to be 1,852 metres; but its pervasive definition and utility is based in the original attempt (definition) to rationalize mathematically (scale) miles–circumference–of–the–earth into a useful integer multiple of length (miles) related to (Spherical trigonometry) the degrees of spherical rotation along a great circle; it works out as approximately 6,076 feet or (in demanding fast maneuvering approximations) close-enough to an even 1 arc-minute of latitude to be of great utility.
The Nautical mile is thus used in day-to-day long distance navigation estimates or important close-in restricted water piloting of vessels large or small. In the former case, it greatly simplifies the number of terms in a complex equation; in the latter case, it serves as a good-estimate basis for keeping to a deep water channel and off the rocks and shoals.
It is still universally used in that respect, although science has refined its base standard into the metric system without materially impacting its utility one way or another.
It is universally used for aviation, naval and maritime purposes, specifically as it gives a good estimate related to degrees in an integer form without excessive error of approximation.

Answer 8

5280.

Answer 9

5,280 feet are in a mile. everybody should know tht from grade school. then you multiply 5,280 by 12 and you get 63,360 inches. 5,280 is 1,760 yards. and thats as far as im going :)

Answer 10

5280 ft/ mi
