Answer:

1 mi/5280 ft = 5 mi/x ft

Step-by-step explanation:

1 mi = 5280 ft

This is the first fraction:

1 mi/5280 ft

The second fraction:

5 mi/x ft

If the problem asked specifically for the value of variable x, you would multiply 5 miles by 5280 feet to find it.

The problem only asks for the set up of the proportion though so:

1 mi/5280 ft = 5 mi/x ft
