how manyyards are in a mile?
1760 I think
There are 5,280 feet in a mile.
There are 3 feet in a yard.
1 mi x (5,280 ft/1 mi) x (1 yd/3 ft) = ??
Note that the first factor cancels miles and changes miles to feet, the second factor cancels feet and converts to yards. The idea here is to place the factors such that the unit you don't want cancels and the unit you want is the only one left. I hope this helps. This is a great way to do conversions. You can check any answer by going to www.google.com and type in "1 mile to yards" without the quotation marks and get an answer instantly.
Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. First of all, how many feet in a yard? (3) Now, how many feet in a mile? (5280) If you divide 3 into 5280 what do you get? (1760)

there are 1,760 yards in one mile , so yes you are correct
There are 1,760 yards in a mile.
To answer your question, there are 1,760 yards in a mile.
To explain how to arrive at this answer, first, we need to know that there are 5,280 feet in a mile.
Then, we need to know that there are 3 feet in a yard.
To convert miles to yards, we can set up a conversion factor:
1 mile x (5,280 feet / 1 mile) x (1 yard / 3 feet) = ??
In this equation, the first factor cancels out the miles and changes miles to feet. The second factor cancels out feet and converts them to yards. The idea here is to arrange the factors in such a way that the unit you don't want cancels out, leaving the unit you want as the only one.
Doing the math:
1 mile x (5,280 feet / 1 mile) x (1 yard / 3 feet) = 5,280 / 3 = 1,760 yards.
So, there are 1,760 yards in a mile.
