Formula to Convert Floors to Miles

The following formula is used to calculate the distance in miles for a given number of floors and height per floor.

$\text{Distance in Miles} = \frac{\text{Number of Floors} \times \text{Height per Floor}}{5280}$

Calculate Step by Step

Understand the Height of Each Floor:

Typically, a single floor is approximately 10 feet in height. However, this can vary, so it's best to confirm the height per floor for accuracy.

Calculate Total Distance in Feet:

Multiply the number of floors climbed by the height of each floor (in feet).

$\text{Total Feet} = \text{Number of Floors} \times \text{Height per Floor}$

Convert Feet to Miles:

Since there are 5,280 feet in a mile, divide the total feet by 5,280 to get the distance in miles.

$\text{Distance in Miles} = \frac{\text{Total Feet}}{5280}$

Example Calculation

If someone climbed 100 floors and height per floor is 10 feet:

$\text{Distance in Miles} = \frac{\text{100} \times \text{10}}{5280}$

$\text{Distance in Miles} = \text{0.1894 miles}$
