15,222ft x 1mile/5280ft = 2.88 miles
just make sure the units cancel.

15,222 ft x 1 mile/5280ft.
You want ft to cancel and be left with the unit miles. Since the numerator and denominator of the fraction are equal (1 mile = 5280 ft. as you said), you are multiplying by one, which keeps it the same changing only the units.

If you are converting feet to miles, divide the ft. number by the mile number. Example:
15,222 /(divided by) 5280
