Question

How do you convert 1.2 miles to feet?

Answer 1

`1.2` miles =`= 6336` feet

Explanation:

`1` mile `= 5280` feet (you just need to memorize this)
`0.1` mile `=528` feet (after dividing by `10`)
`0.2` mile `=1056` feet (after doubling `0.1` mile)

`1.2` miles
`color(white)("XXXX")=1` mile `+0.2` miles

`color(white)("XXXX")=5280+1056` feet

`color(white)("XXXX")=6336` feet

Doing conversions in the imperial system makes you realise how easy the metric system is in comparison!

`"miles " xx 1760 rarr " yards " xx 3 rarr " feet " xx 12 rarr " inches"`

`1.2 " miles " xx 1760 xx 3 = 6336" feet"`
