A jet flies at an altitude of 52,800 feet. What is the height of the jet in miles?
I need help with this problem please
That is hilarious! I just googled this question because I was having trouble with this to!!! I am in middle school and my math teacher gave me this question on my skills practice worksheet. I have the answer finally!!!!!!
First you have know that there is 5,280 feet in 1 mile.
You then divide 5,280 to 52,800. You should get a quotient of 10 miles. So, in conclusion, The jet flies at an altitude of 10 miles.
The jet flies only 10 miles
52,800/5,280
10
bulshit
To find the height of the jet in miles, we can use the fact that 1 mile is equivalent to 5,280 feet.
To convert feet to miles, we divide the given altitude of the jet by the conversion factor.
So, dividing 52,800 feet by 5,280 feet per mile gives us:
52,800 feet / 5,280 feet per mile = 10 miles
Therefore, the height of the jet is 10 miles.
1 mile = 5,280 feet
52,800 / 5,280 = _______ miles
