Answer:
1) Distance in feet equals 1640.4 feet
2) Distance in miles equals 0.3107 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the basic conversion factors we know that
1 meter = 3.2808 feet
Thus by proportion we conclude that
[tex]500meters=500\times 3.2808feet\\\\\therefore 500meters=1640.4feet[/tex]
Similarly using the basic conversion factors we know that
1 mile = 1609.34 meters
thus we conclude that 1 meter =[tex]\frac{1}{1609.34}[/tex] miles
Hence by proportion 500 meters = [tex]500\times \frac{1}{1609.34}=0.3107[/tex] miles
