Answer 1

We are given that an inch is approximately 1.57828x10⁻⁵ mile.

`1\: inch=1.57828*10^(-5)\: \text{mile}`

The reciprocal of this number will give us the number of inches in a mile.

`(1)/(1.57828*10^(-5)\: )=63360\: inches`

Therefore, a mile is approximately 63360 inches.

`1\: mile=63360\: \text{inches}`
