Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1.1 mile is equivalent to5280 feet.1 foot is equivalent to12 inches3. We need to convert1.50 miles to inches

STEP 2

First, we need to convert miles to feet. We can do this by multiplying the given miles by the conversion factor for miles to feet.
$Feet = Miles \\times Conversion\, factor\, (miles\, to\, feet)$

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the miles and the conversion factor to calculate the feet.
$Feet =1.50\, miles \\times5280\, (feet/mile)$

STEP 4

Calculate the total feet.
$Feet =1.50\, miles \\times5280\, (feet/mile) =7920\, feet$

STEP 5

Next, we need to convert feet to inches. We can do this by multiplying the calculated feet by the conversion factor for feet to inches.
$Inches = Feet \\times Conversion\, factor\, (feet\, to\, inches)$

STEP 6

Now, plug in the given values for the feet and the conversion factor to calculate the inches.
$Inches =7920\, feet \\times12\, (inches/foot)$

STEP 7

Calculate the total inches.
$Inches =7920\, feet \\times12\, (inches/foot) =95040\, inches$ So,1.50 miles is equivalent to95040 inches.
