How to Convert Miles to Feet
Example: How many feet are equivalent to 72.03 miles?
As;
1 miles = 5280 feet
72.03 miles = Y feet
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 72.03 times 5280 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 72.03 * 5280 / 1 = 380318.4 feet
Answer is: 380318.4 feet are equivalent to 72.03 miles.
