Respuesta :
We have been given that there are 5280 feet in a mile.
Let us calculate the number of miles in a feet.
In 1 feet we have [tex]\frac{1}{5280}[/tex] miles.
Therefore, in 440 feet, we have
[tex]\frac{1}{5280} \times 440 [/tex]
Now 5280 can be written as [tex]440 \times 12[/tex]
Hence, we have
[tex]\frac{1}{440 \times 12} \times 440\\ \\ \frac{1}{12}[/tex]
Therefore, 1/12 of mile is represented by 440 feet.
Answer:
440 feet is [tex]\frac{1}{12}[/tex] of a mile.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that 1 miles equal 5280 feet. We are asked to find 440 ft is what fraction of a mile.
We will proportions to solve our given problem as:
[tex]\frac{\text{1 mile}}{\text{5280 ft}}=\frac{x}{440\text{ ft}}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{\text{1 mile}}{\text{5280 ft}}*440\text{ ft}=\frac{x}{440\text{ ft}}*440\text{ ft}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{\text{44 mile}}{528}=x[/tex]
[tex]\frac{\text{44 mile}}{44*12}=x[/tex]
[tex]\frac{\text{1 mile}}{12}=x[/tex]
Therefore, 440 feet is [tex]\frac{1}{12}[/tex] of a mile.
