1 mile = 5,280 feet, divided by 3 (3 feet per yard) = 1,760 yards. If Judy jogged 2,640 yards, then 2,640 yards divided by 1,760 (yards per mile) = 1.5 miles

2640 yards = 3*2640 feet = 7920 feet
5280 feet = 1 mile
7920 feet/5280 feet = 1.5
7920 feet = 1.5 miles. Judy jogged 1.5 miled on Monday

2,640 x 3 feet in a yard
7920 / 5280 feet in mile
1.5 miles

well there are 1760 yards in one mile, so you would divide the number of yards she jogged by the number of yards in a mile to get the answer 1.5 miles.

3 feet = 1 yard
7920 feet = 2640 yards
5280 feet = 1 mile
7920 feet/5280 feet = 1.5 miles
