Answer:

5883 ft 9 in

Explanation:

1 mile = 5280 feet

1 yard = 3 feet

Multiplying the second equation by 201.25, we get ...

... 201.25 yd = 603.75 ft

Then adding the two equations, we have ...

... 1 mile 201.25 yd = 5280 ft + 603.75 ft = 5883.75 ft

We know that 1 ft = 12 in, so we can multiply this equation by 0.75 to get ...

... 0.75 ft = 9 in

Then our total paving length is 5883 ft 9 in.
