Arithmetic Reasoning
Yesterday I presented a question on inches and miles.
How many inches are there in a mile?
- 1760 inches
- 5280 inches
- 15,840 inches
- 63,360 inches
As an ASVAB tutor, measurement is one of the topics I cover in my review of the Arithmetic Reasoning section of the ASVAB. I remind my students of the importance of knowing conversions for inches, feet, yards, and miles for distance measurement. I remind them of the importance of reviewing liquid measurement and their need to know the conversions for ounces, cups, pints, quarts, and gallons. I remind them to study weight measurements and that they need to know ounces, pounds, and gallon conversions. I also tell them to review metric measurements. To answer this question, it is essential to know how many inches are in a foot and how many feet are in a mile.
1 foot = 12 inches
1 mile = 5280 feet
To figure out how many inches are in a mile, it is necessary to multiply 5280 x 12.
5280 x 12 = 63,360 inches.
The final answer is 63,360 feet.
