Two groups collect litter along the side of a road. it takes each group 5 minutes to clean up a 200-yard section. how long does it take to clean up 2 miles? explain how you solved the problem

First I tired the miles into yards. If 1760 yards= 1 mile and they have to clean up 2 miles which is equal to 3,520 yards or 1760*2. Now if it took them 5 minutes to clean up 200 yards then the question that needs to be asked is how many times does 200 go into 3,520 you figure this out by taking 3,520 divided by 200 which equals 17.6 then you would take that times 5 to figure out how long it'll take them to clean up the 2 miles. 17.6*5=88. It took them 88 minutes to clean up 2 yards or 3,520 yards.
