Answer:
Yards from its starting point is 13200
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : A bird traveled 4 miles north before stopping to rest. The bird then flew 2,640 yards south in search of food. Finally, it flew 5 more miles north.
To find : How many yards was it from its starting point?
Solution :
We know, In general 1 mile = 1760 yards
A bird traveled 4 miles north before stopping to rest.
\(4\text{ miles }4 \times 1760 = 7040\text{ yards}\)
It flew 5 more miles north.
\(5\text{ miles }5 \times 1760 = 8800\text{ yards}\)
Total bird flew is \(7040+8800=15840 \text{ yards}\)
The bird then flew 2,640 yards south in search of food.
Yards from its starting point is
\(15840-2640 = 13200 \text{ yards}\)
