Answer :
To compare 5 miles to 8,799 yards, we first need to convert them to the same unit so that we can directly compare their quantities. Since we're comparing 5 miles to yards, we'll convert miles to yards.
1 mile is equal to 1760 yards (by definition). To find out how many yards are in 5 miles, we multiply:
5 miles * 1760 yards/mile = 8800 yards
Now that both distances are in yards, we can compare them:
5 miles = 8800 yards
8,799 yards
Between the two, we see that 8800 yards is more than 8,799 yards. Therefore:
5 miles is more than 8,799 yards.
The answer to the question is 5 miles.
