Worked examples
Converting 5 miles
Multiply 5 by 1760. That gives 8,800 yards. A quick sanity check: one mile is larger than one yard, so the number should get bigger — and it does.
Converting 72 miles
72 × 1760 = 126,720 yards. Working backwards, 126,720 ÷ 1760 returns 72 miles, which confirms the factor is applied the right way round.
