How to Convert Yards to Miles
Example: How many miles are equivalent to 68.02 yards?
As;
1 yards = 0.000568 miles
68.02 yards = Y miles
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 68.02 times 0.000568 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 68.02 * 0.000568 / 1 = 0.03863536 miles
Answer is: 0.03863536 miles are equivalent to 68.02 yards.
