6 miles 551 yards
= (6 x 1760 + 551) x 3 ft
= 33333 x 12 inches
= 399996 x 25.4 mm
= 10159898.4 /1000 m
= 10160 m appx

well. first, put it all into feet. 551 yards times 3 = 1653 feet. 6 miles times 5280 = 31680. add those two numbers together and it's 33,333 feet. one foot equals 0.30480061 meters. so multiply 33,333 times 0.30480061, and the answer is:
10,159.92 meters.

1 mi. = 5280 ft. 1 yd. = 3 ft.
6mi x 5280ft/mi = 31,680 ft
551yd x 3ft/yd = 1653 ft
33,333ft
So start with 33,333ft x 12in./1ft x 2.54cm/1in. x 1m/100cm. =
