A mile is a unit of linear measure equal to 1,760 yards, while a foot is a unit of length in the Imperial units and U.S. customary units.
Miles are abbreviated as mi while a foot is abbreviated as ft.
Formula to convert feet to miles.
To convert ft to mi, we use the conversion ratio that we get from how they relate.
We are told that 1 mile is equivalent to 5280 feet.
Therefore, to convert ft to mi, we divide the ft by 5280.
Length in mi = Length in ft ÷ 5280
Example:
Convert 50,000 feet to miles.
= 50,000 ÷ 5280
= 9.5 miles.
