To convert miles to inches, you can use the following steps:

  1. First, convert miles to feet: \[ 2.5 \text{ miles} \times 5,280 \text{ feet/mile} = 13,200 \text{ feet} \]

  2. Next, convert feet to inches: \[ 13,200 \text{ feet} \times 12 \text{ inches/foot} = 158,400 \text{ inches} \]

So, there are 158,400 inches in 2.5 miles. The correct response is 158,400 inches.
