Answer:
Choice C is not equivalent to 2.50 miles.
Explanation:
The given data is now converted into feet, inches, kilometers, yards and centimeters:
mi - ft
[tex]x = (2.50\,mi)\cdot \left(5280\,\frac{ft}{mi} \right)[/tex]
[tex]x = 13200\,ft[/tex]
[tex]x = 1.320\times 10^{4}\,ft[/tex] (Choice A)
mi - in
[tex]x = (2.50\,mi)\cdot \left(5280\,\frac{ft}{mi} \right)\cdot \left(12\,\frac{in}{ft} \right)[/tex]
[tex]x = 158400\,in[/tex]
[tex]x = 1.584\times 10^{5}[/tex] (Choice B)
mi - km
[tex]x = (2.50\,mi)\cdot \left(1.61\,\frac{km}{mi} \right)[/tex]
[tex]x = 4.025\,km[/tex] (Different from Choice C)
mi - yd
[tex]x = (2.50\,mi)\cdot \left(5280\,\frac{ft}{mi}\right) \cdot \left(\frac{1}{3}\,\frac{yd}{ft} \right)[/tex]
[tex]x = 4400\,yd[/tex]
[tex]x = 4.40\times 10^{3}\,yd[/tex] (Choice D)
mi - cm
[tex]x = (2.50\,mi)\cdot \left(1.61\,\frac{km}{mi} \right)\cdot \left(100000\,\frac{cm}{km}\right)[/tex]
[tex]x = 402500\,cm[/tex]
[tex]x = 4.025\times 10^{5}\,cm[/tex] (Choice E)
Choice C is not equivalent to 2.50 miles.
