To convert yards to miles, use the conversion factor that 1 mile is equal to 1,760 yards.
To find how many miles are in 880 yards, you can set up the following calculation:
\[ \text{Miles} = \frac{\text{Yards}}{1760} = \frac{880}{1760} \]
Now, simplify the fraction \(\frac{880}{1760}\):
- Find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 880 and 1760. The GCD is 880.
- Divide the numerator and the denominator by their GCD:
\[ \frac{880 \div 880}{1760 \div 880} = \frac{1}{2} \]
Thus,
\[ 880 \text{ yards} = \frac{1}{2} \text{ miles} \]
So, the simplified answer is:
\(\frac{1}{2}\) miles.
