Full solution

Q. Convert:\newline36,12436,124 ft\text{ft} = _____ mi\text{mi} _____ ft\text{ft}
  1. Calculate Whole Miles: We know that 11 mile =5,280= 5,280 feet. Let's divide 36,12436,124 feet by 5,2805,280 feet per mile to find out how many whole miles there are.\newline36,124 ft÷5,280 ft/mi=6.84 mi36,124 \text{ ft} \div 5,280 \text{ ft/mi} = 6.84 \text{ mi}\newlineBut we only want the whole number of miles for now, so we take the integer part of the result.
  2. Find Remaining Feet: We got 66 miles. Now let's find out how many feet are left over.\newlineWe multiply the whole miles by the number of feet in a mile and subtract from the total feet.\newline6mi×5,280ft/mi=31,680ft6 \, \text{mi} \times 5,280 \, \text{ft/mi} = 31,680 \, \text{ft}\newline36,124ft31,680ft=4,444ft36,124 \, \text{ft} - 31,680 \, \text{ft} = 4,444 \, \text{ft}
  3. Correct Subtraction: Oops, looks like I made a mistake in the subtraction. Let's correct that.\newline36,12436,124 ft 31,680- 31,680 ft =4,444= 4,444 ft is wrong.\newlineThe correct subtraction is:\newline36,12436,124 ft 31,680- 31,680 ft =4,444= 4,444 ft\newlineWait, that's the same number. My bad, the subtraction was actually correct.
