Convert Yards to Miles: We know that 1 mile =1,760 yards. Let's divide 5,959 yards by 1,760 to find out how many whole miles there are.5,959÷1,760=3.385795454545…But we only need the whole number of miles, so we take the integer part which is 3 miles.
Calculate Whole Miles: Now we need to find out how many yards are left after converting to miles. We multiply the whole miles by the number of yards in a mile and subtract from the total yards.3 miles ×1,760 yards/mile =5,280 yards5,959 yards −5,280 yards =679 yards
