Full solution

Q. Convert:\newline5,9595,959 yd\text{yd} = _____ mi\text{mi} _____ yd\text{yd}
  1. Convert Yards to Miles: We know that 11 mile =1,760= 1,760 yards. Let's divide 5,9595,959 yards by 1,7601,760 to find out how many whole miles there are.\newline5,959÷1,760=3.3857954545455,959 \div 1,760 = 3.385795454545\dots\newlineBut we only need the whole number of miles, so we take the integer part which is 33 miles.
  2. Calculate Whole Miles: Now we need to find out how many yards are left after converting to miles. We multiply the whole miles by the number of yards in a mile and subtract from the total yards.\newline33 miles ×1,760\times 1,760 yards/mile =5,280= 5,280 yards\newline5,9595,959 yards 5,280- 5,280 yards =679= 679 yards
