To convert three-eighths of a mile to inches, we need to understand the relationship between miles and inches. Here's how you can calculate it:
1. Begin by converting a mile to inches. There are 5,280 feet in a mile, and 1 foot is equal to 12 inches. Therefore, to convert a mile to inches, you multiply 5,280 by 12, which equals 63,360 inches in a mile.
2. Next, find out how many inches are in three-eighths of a mile. To do this, you need to calculate three-eighths of 63,360 inches:
(3/8) * 63,360 = 23,760 inches
Therefore, three-eighths of a mile is equal to 23,760 inches. So, the correct answer is:
OC) 23,760 inches
