2.54 cm = 1 in and 5280 ft = 1 mi and 12 in = 1 ft

A country lane is cm long.
Note: E+6 is the same as 1,000,000
This is mi.



Suppose Given a length L = 80500 cm.
You are asked to find the length in mi.
The solution requires the three conversion divisions 1/(5280 ft), 1/(12in), and 1/(2.54 cm)
This can be written as click refresh (F5)
Try this solution by entering 80500(frac{1}{5280})(frac{1}{12})(frac{1}{2.54}) into the Function = box of the Graphing Calculator.
Then click on the Enter your Function button and then the Plot Graph button.
The answer is displayed to the right of f(x) = as 0.50... .
