Answer 1

10 miles

the first option

Answer 2

Answer: 10 miles (choice A)

Work Shown:

`17600 \text{ yards} = 17600 \text{ yards}*\frac{3 \text{ feet}}{1 \text{ yard}}*\frac{1 \text{ mile}}{5280 \text{ feet}}\\\\= (17600 * 3* 1)/(1 * 5280* 1) \text{ miles}\\\\= (52800)/(5280) \text{ miles}\\\\= 10 \text{ miles}\\\\`

Take notice in the jump from the 1st to 2nd lines, we have the "yards" and "feet" units cancel out.
