A fish swam a distance of 5,104 yards. How far did the fish swim, in miles? (1 mile = 1,760 yards)

Correct answer: B. 2.9

  • A. 0.2
  • B. 2.9
  • C. 3.344
  • D. 6.864

Explanation

Choice B is correct. To convert yards to miles, use the conversion factor: 1 mile = 1,760 yards. Divide 5,104 yards by 1,760 yards/mile to convert the distance from yards to miles, resulting in approximately 2.9 miles. Option A significantly underestimates the distance, while Options C and D overestimate it due to calculation errors.
