The distance from City A to City B is 1760 miles. What is the distance from City A to City B in yards?

A. [tex]1 \, \text{yd}[/tex]
B. [tex]1760 \, \text{yd}[/tex]
C. [tex]5280 \, \text{yd}[/tex]
D. [tex]3,097,600 \, \text{yd}[/tex]



Answer :

To determine the distance from City A to City B in yards, let's convert the given distance in miles to yards using a known conversion factor.

1. The distance from City A to City B is given as 1760 miles.
2. We know that [tex]\(1\)[/tex] mile is equal to [tex]\(1760\)[/tex] yards.

To find the distance in yards, we multiply the number of miles by the number of yards per mile:

[tex]\[ \text{Distance in yards} = \text{Distance in miles} \times \text{Yards per mile} \][/tex]

Substitute the known values into the equation:

[tex]\[ \text{Distance in yards} = 1760 \times 1760 \][/tex]

Performing the multiplication, we get:

[tex]\[ \text{Distance in yards} = 3,097,600 \text{ yards} \][/tex]

Thus, the distance from City A to City B is [tex]\(3,097,600\)[/tex] yards.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

D) [tex]\(3,097,600\)[/tex] yd.
