See a solution process below:

Note: The problem as written says there are 5280 feet in a mile. Actually, there are 5280 feet in a mile. I will use the 5280 feet per mile in the problem below in case this was written incorrectly

Explanation:

The conversion factor of miles to feet can be written as:

#1" mile "= 5280" feet"#

To find the number of feet in 7 miles multiply each side of the equation by #color(red)(7)#

#color(red)(7) xx 1" mile "= color(red)(7) xx 5280" feet"#

#7" mile "= 36960" feet"#

There are 36,960 feet in a 7 miles
