How to convert miles to yards
Any physical quantity can be written as:
Q = nu , where n= numerical value and u = unit used
We know that:
1 mi = 1760 yd
1 yd = 0.000568182 mi
So, you can easily convert your quantity in miles to yards by simply multiply it by 1760
Hence, general formula to convert miles to yards:
p(yd) = 1760 × p(mi), where p is the numerical value
For example:
Convert 15 miles to yards
15 mi = 15 × 1760 yd = 26400 yd
