How to Convert Miles to Yards
Example: How many yards are equivalent to 21.76 miles?
As;
1 miles = 1760 yards
21.76 miles = Y yards
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 21.76 times 1760 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 21.76 * 1760 / 1 = 38297.6 yards
Answer is: 38297.6 yards are equivalent to 21.76 miles.
