Answer:
A. 1 mile / 1,760 yards
Step-by-step explanation:
A single conversion factor is a number that we can multiply directly with 8,462 yards to determine how many yards are there in 8,462 yards.
Since 1 mile is to 1,760 yards, the single conversion factor to use in determining how many miles a number of yards would be = 1 mile/1,760 yards = [tex] \frac{1}{1,760} [/tex]
Thus, to find out many miles are in 8,462 yards, multiply by [tex] \frac{1}{1,760} [/tex].
[tex] 8,462*\frac{1}{1,760} = \frac{8,462}{1,760} = 4.8 [/tex] miles
