Question

6. A football is 10 inches long, How many footballs would it take to make a mileif laid end to end?

Answer 1

Footballs and miles

We know

1 mile = 63,360 in

10 in = 1 football

Then, "how many footballs would it take to make a mile?" is the same as asking "how many footballs would it take to make 63360 in?"

In order to find the answer we just divide

$\frac{63,360}{10}=6,336$

Then it takes 6,336 footballs to make a miles laid end to end
