How do you convert 1/10miles1/10 miles into ftft ?

Explanation

Solution

In the given question we have to convert the distance measurements mile-feet and it can define as follows:
● Mile- A mile is a unit of distance equal to 17601760yards or approximately 1.61.6kilometres.
● Feet- The foot is a unit of length used in the imperial and U.S. customary measurement
systems, representing 1/31/3of a yard, and is subdivided into twelve inches.

Complete Step-by-step solution
Known- 5280feet5280feetin 1mile1mile
Write this as:
1ml=5280ft1ml = 5280ft
But we need 110\dfrac{1}{{10}}of a mile
If we convert the 1mile1mile to 110\dfrac{1}{{10}}of a mile but maintain the ratio we will have the answer.
Multiply both sides of the = by 110\dfrac{1}{{10}}
1ml=5280ft110×1ml =110×5280ft 110ml=528ft  1ml = 5280ft \to \dfrac{1}{{10}} \times 1ml \\\ = \dfrac{1}{{10}} \times 5280ft \\\ \Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{{10}}ml = 528ft \\\
