$=>1/10 ml = 528 ft$

Known: 5280 feet in 1 mile

Write this as: $" "1ml=5280 ft$

But we need $1/10$ of a mile

If we convert the 1 mile to $1/10$ of a mile but maintain the ratio we will have the answer.

Multiply both sides of the = by $color(blue)(1/10)$

$color(brown)(1ml" "=" "5280 ft" "->" "color(blue)(1/10xx)1ml" "=" "color(blue)(1/10xx)5280 ft)$

$=>1/10 ml = 528 ft$
