Two groups collect litter along the side of the road it takes each group 5 minutes to clean up a 200-yard section. How long does it take to clean up 2 miles

The question asks how long does it take to clean two miles so i would start off by finding how many yards are in two miles

There is 1760 Yards in a mile.

That means that in 2 miles there is 2x1750yards which is 3520.

If it takes 5 minutes to clean 200 yards, dividing 3520 by 200 will give you the number of 5 minutes does it take to clean up the yard.

3520/200=17.6

This means that it will take (17.6) 5 minutes to clean up 2 miles

To find how many minutes that is you have to multiply 17.6 to 5

(17.6) (5) = 88

Therefore it will take 88 minutes to clean up 2 miles of yard section.
