Question

A certain town has an area of 4.36 square miles. What is the area, in square yards , of this town? 1 &#160; mile = 1,760 &#160; yards

Accepted Answer

Choice D is correct. Since the number of yards in 1 mile is 1,760 , the number of square yards in 1 square mile is ( 1,760 ) ( 1,760 ) = 3,097,600 . Therefore, if the area of the town is 4.36 square miles, it is 4.36 ( 3,097,600 ) = 13,505,536 , in square yards. Choice A is incorrect and may result from dividing the number of yards in a mile by the square mileage of the town. Choice B is incorrect and may result from multiplying the number of yards in a mile by the square mileage of the town. Choice C is incorrect and may result from dividing the number of square yards in a square mile by the square mileage of the town.
