How to Convert Feet to Miles
Example: How many miles are equivalent to 40.51 feet?
As;
1 feet = 0.000189 miles
40.51 feet = Y miles
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 40.51 times 0.000189 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 40.51 * 0.000189 / 1 = 0.00765639 miles
Answer is: 0.00765639 miles are equivalent to 40.51 feet.
