TO GET ANY CONVERSIONS GO TO GOOGLE.
IN THIS CASE YOU WOULD TYPE IN "inches in a mile" AND THE GOOGLE COMPUTER WILL GIVE YOU THE ANSWER. IT ALSO PERFORMS CALCULATIONS
A good way to remember that there are 5280 ft in a mile is to know that an acre has its roots in the distance of a mile.
An acre is 1 chain by 10 chains and 10 chains is in a furlong. and there are 8 furlongs in a mile.
since a chain is 22 yards or 66 feet the number of ft in a mile is..
66*10*8=5280 ft
since there are 12 inches in a foot...
the answer is 12*5280=

Yeah, but knowledge is power, and power corrupts, so in order to save you from corruption, I'm gonna have to make you figure it out all by yourself. Any body know what 5280 x 12 is?
