38.25 feet equals 0.0072443182 miles. To convert feet to miles, divide the number of feet by 5280.
feet to miles conversion can be done using multiplication or division.
First, let’s convert 38.25 feet to miles using multiplication method:
We know that there are 0.0001893939 miles in a foot.
miles = number of feet × 0.0001893939
thus, 38.25 feet = (38.25 × 0.0001893939) miles
∴ 38.25 feet = 0.0072443182 miles
Next, let’s convert 38.25 feet to miles by using the division method:
There are 5280 feet in a mile. To use division method of conversion, we will use following formula:
miles = number of feet ÷ 5280
thus, 38.25 feet = (38.25 ÷ 5280) miles
∴ 38.25 feet = 0.0072443182 miles
Foot is a unit of length in the British Imperial System and the United States Customary Unit System. The standard symbol of the foot is ft. It is also denoted by a prime symbol (′).
The unit's name indicates and is believed to be based on the human foot. Since ancient times, the foot has been widely used in European countries and the United States. The length of the foot was different from country to country. Different rulers defined their feet, making the previous one obsolete. This created great confusion for international and intercontinental trade. To overcome this confusion of variation in the unit values, seven countries, including the United States, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, Australia, and the United Kingdom, signed the International Yard and Pound Agreement in 1959 that defined the yard value as exactly 0.9144 meters. This consequently made the value of the international foot exactly 0.3048 meters.
The foot is used to measure the lengths of objects and small distances. The square foot, the unit derived from the foot, is used to measure the area of a two-dimensional space. To distinguish area and length measurements, the term linear foot is used to indicate the length of the material in feet instead of the area. In aviation, the altitude of flight levels is commonly used in hundred-foot increments. For example, a flight level 320 indicates an altitude of 32000 feet. The dimensions of shipping containers are measured in feet.
Mile is a unit of length in the British Imperial System and the United States Customary Units system. It is primarily used in the United States and the United Kingdom to measure longer distances. Its standard symbol is mi.
In the old English units, the value of one mile was equal to 1760 yards. In 1959, seven countries including Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States signed the International Yard and Pound Agreement. This agreement defined the value of the international yard as exactly 0.9144 meters. This consequently defined the value of international mile as exactly 1609.344 meters. Many different miles existed before the international mile was defined.
Nautical mile, the unit derived from the mile, is used for marine and space navigation purposes. It is currently defined as exactly 1852 meters internationally.
