Answer:
[tex]12,960\ \frac{miles}{day}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
[tex]1\ mile=1,760\ yards[/tex]
To convert yards to miles multiply by 1/1,760
[tex]1\ hour=3,600\ seconds[/tex]
[tex]1\ day=24\ hours[/tex]
so
[tex](24)3,600=86,400[/tex]
[tex]1\ day=86,400\ seconds[/tex]
To convert seconds to day multiply by 1/86,400
In this problem we have
[tex]264\ \frac{yd}{sec} =264\ \frac{(1/1,760)}{(1/86,400)}=264\ (\frac{86,400}{1,760})=12,960\ \frac{miles}{day}[/tex]
