Conversion formula

The conversion factor from miles to yards is 1760, which means that 1 mile is equal to 1760 yards:

1 mi = 1760 yd

To convert 8500 miles into yards we have to multiply 8500 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from miles to yards. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 mi → 1760 yd

8500 mi → L_(yd)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the length L in yards:

L_(yd) = 8500 mi × 1760 yd

L_(yd) = 14960000 yd

The final result is:

8500 mi → 14960000 yd

We conclude that 8500 miles is equivalent to 14960000 yards:

8500 miles = 14960000 yards
