en el siglo xvi, la forma más común de medición era la legua (league). una legua se basaba en la distancia que una persona promedio podía caminar en una hora: 3.5 millas
a) calcula cuales serían estas distancias en leguas
passaic to boston: 233 miles
passaic to niagara falls: 390 miles
passaic to miami: 1,285 miles
passaic to washington d.c: 288 miles
passaic to los angeles: 2,780 miles

Explanation:

Step1: Recall conversion factor

Given 1 league = 3.5 miles. To convert miles to leagues, we use the formula: number of leagues = number of miles / 3.5.

Step2: Calculate for Passaic - Boston

Number of leagues = $\frac{233}{3.5}\approx 66.57$ leagues

Step3: Calculate for Passaic - Niagara Falls

Number of leagues = $\frac{390}{3.5}\approx 111.43$ leagues

Step4: Calculate for Passaic - Miami

Number of leagues = $\frac{1285}{3.5}\approx 367.14$ leagues

Step5: Calculate for Passaic - Washington D.C.

Number of leagues = $\frac{288}{3.5}\approx 82.29$ leagues

Step6: Calculate for Passaic - Los Angeles

Number of leagues = $\frac{2780}{3.5}\approx 794.29$ leagues
