Explanation:

Step1: Recall conversion factor

1 mile = 5280 feet

Step2: Convert miles to feet for each pair

Pair 1: 84,480 feet vs 16 miles

$16 \times 5280 = 84,480$ feet

Pair 2: 65 miles vs 343,100 feet

$65 \times 5280 = 343,200$ feet

Pair 3: 163,679 feet vs 31 miles

$31 \times 5280 = 163,680$ feet

Pair 4: 250,060 feet vs 37 miles

$37 \times 5280 = 195,360$ feet

Pair 5: 49 miles vs 300,720 feet

$49 \times 5280 = 258,720$ feet

Pair 6: 5,280 feet vs 1 mile

$1 \times 5280 = 5,280$ feet

Step3: Compare values

Pair1: $84,480 = 84,480$

Pair2: $343,200 > 343,100$

Pair3: $163,679 < 163,680$

Pair4: $250,060 > 195,360$

Pair5: $258,720 < 300,720$

Pair6: $5,280 = 5,280$

Answer:

84,480 feet $\boldsymbol{=}$ 16 miles
65 miles $\boldsymbol{>}$ 343,100 feet
163,679 feet $\boldsymbol{<}$ 31 miles
250,060 feet $\boldsymbol{>}$ 37 miles
49 miles $\boldsymbol{<}$ 300,720 feet
5,280 feet $\boldsymbol{=}$ 1 mile
