Omari · Answer 1

It would be 138,435 because 1 mile is equal to 5,280 feet and 1 yard is equal to 3 feet, so you would do 5280 times 26 and 385 times 3 and then add them together.

Diamond Mata · Answer 2

A mile is 5280 feet so the first step is

5280 * 26 = 137280

Now you have to find the yards in feet too. 1 yard is 3 feet

3 * 385 = 1155

Then all you need to do is add them together

so 1155 + 137280

and you get 138435 feet
