Answer:

[tex]A. \frac{5280*12}{0.394}cm[/tex]

Explanation:

1. Take the quantity you want to convert:

[tex]1mile[/tex]

2. Multiply by the first conversion factor:

[tex]1mile*\frac{5280feet}{1mile}[/tex]

3. Apply the second conversion factor:

[tex]1mile*\frac{5280feet}{1mile}*\frac{12inches}{1foot}[/tex]

4. Multiply by the third conversion factor:

[tex]1mile*\frac{5280feet}{1mile}*\frac{12inches}{1foot}*\frac{1centimeter}{0.394inches}[/tex]

5. Multiply all the numerators and divide by denominators:

[tex]1mile*\frac{5280feet}{1mile}*\frac{12inches}{1foot}*\frac{1centimeter}{0.394inches}=\frac{5280*12}{0.394}cm[/tex]
