Answer 2

check the picture below.

since there are 5280 feet in 1 mile, how many miles are there in 9775.169362045371 ft?


`\bf \begin{array}{ccll} feet&miles\\ \text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\ 5280&1\\ 9775.169362045371&m \end{array}\implies \cfrac{5280}{9775.169362045371}=\cfrac{1}{m} \\\\\\ m=\cfrac{9775.169362045371\cdot 1}{5280}`
