Yes because 8800 yards = 5 miles
Well, let's think about this in a peaceful way. 5 miles is actually equal to 8,000 yards. So, they are not greater or lesser than each other, they are just different ways of measuring the same distance, like painting a happy little tree in two different shades of green.
There are 2640 yards in 1.5 miles. 1.5 miles x 1760 yards/1 mile = 2640 yards 1 miles = 1760 yards
1/2 a mile
A marathon is 26 miles 385 yards = 42,195 metres
One mile is equal to 1760 yards. Therefore, expressed as an improper fraction, 1540 yards is equal to 1540/1760 miles. Expressed as an improper fraction in its simplest form, this is equal to 7/8, or seven eighths, of a mile.
