Measuring distances in the US customary system is done in inches, feet, yards and miles. Miles and yards are the units of measurements commonly used while calculating and measuring the area of a given place.

The conversion factor for converting miles to yards is given as, 1 mile = 1760 yards.

Explanation

1. Start with the number of feet in a mile: 5,280 feet.
2. Convert feet to yards by dividing by 3 (since 1 yard = 3 feet):5,280 feet/(3 feet/yard) = 1,760 yards
3. Cross-verification using furlongs (1 mile = 8 furlongs, 1 furlong = 220 yards):$$8\times 220=1,760\text{ yards}.$$
