There are 1760 feet in a yard and 3 yards make a mile. So there are (1760 x 3) 5280 feet in a mile. You can also try this approach

There are 1760 feet in a yard and 3 yards make a mile. So there are (1760 x 3) 5280 feet in a mile.

1 mile = 8 furlongs
1 furlong = 10 chains
1 chain = 22 yards
1yard = 3 feet
1 mile = (8 x 10 x 22 x 3) 5280.
The international nautical mile is 6076.12 feet in U.S and 6080 feet in U.K
