Q1)

5280 feet in a mile

3 feet in a yard

5380/3 yards in a mile (or 1760 yards)

1760 * 2.5 yards in 2.5 miles = 4400 yards

Q2)

2.5mi/190mi/hr = .0131578 hr

3600 sec in 1 hour

.013 * 3600 = 47.368 sec

1. There’s 1760 yards in a mile, so 2.5 miles would be (2.5)(1760) = 4400 yards.

2. 190 miles per hour = 190 mi/hr * 1 hr/60 min * 1 min/60 sec = 0.53 miles/sec. So 2.5 miles/.053 miles/sec = 47 sec.
