Question

If there are 5,280 ft=1.00 mile ,how many miles are in 50,000 ft?
Damon
50,000 ft (1 mile/5280 ft)
ft cancels and you have
50,000/5280 miles

to do unit conversions multiply so the units cancel

feet ( 1 miles/5280 feet) --- > miles

or the other way

miles (5280 feet/mile) ----> feet

Why do you think this is a chemistry question???

50,000 / 5,280 = _______________ miles


Damon
if the top is the same as the bottom, you are really multiplying by one, just in different languages :)
Damon
It is possible she got this a a unit conversion problem in chemistry. The way I did it is a chemistry and physics way.

mols/lter * molecules/mol

etc
Ms. Sue
Oh. Thanks for the explanation, Damon.
