Answer 2

To find the total number of inches in 2.5 miles, we need to convert miles to feet and then feet to inches.

There are 5,280 feet in one mile, so for 2.5 miles, there are: 2.5 miles * 5,280 feet/mile = 13,200 feet.

Now, we can convert feet to inches. There are 12 inches in one foot, so in 13,200 feet, there are: 13,200 feet * 12 inches/foot = 158,400 inches.

Therefore, there are 158,400 inches in 2.5 miles.
