If one stride is 23 inches, how many steps will make a mile?

Answer 1

Noah Archer

A mile makes #2754 18/23# steps

For this one needs to know number of inches in a mile.

As each mile has #1760# yards and each yard has #3# feet and each feet has #12# inches.

Hence one mile has #1760xx3xx12=63360# inches.

As one stride is of #23# inches,

number of steps to make a mile is #63360/23=2754 18/23#
