#=>1/10 ml = 528 ft#

Explanation:

Known: 5280 feet in 1 mile

Write this as: #" "1ml=5280 ft#

But we need #1/10# of a mile

If we convert the 1 mile to #1/10# of a mile but maintain the ratio we will have the answer.

Multiply both sides of the = by #color(blue)(1/10)#

#color(brown)(1ml" "=" "5280 ft" "->" "color(blue)(1/10xx)1ml" "=" "color(blue)(1/10xx)5280 ft)#

#=>1/10 ml = 528 ft#
