Multiply miles by 1,760.
Formula: yards = miles × 1,760
Half a mile equals 880 yards.
Math: 0.5 × 1,760 = 880
Two miles equals 3,520 yards.
Math: 2 × 1,760 = 3,520
Three miles equals 5,280 yards.
Math: 3 × 1,760 = 5,280
Five miles equals 8,800 yards.
Math: 5 × 1,760 = 8,800
Ten miles equals 17,600 yards.
Math: 10 × 1,760 = 17,600
Yes, if you’re going the other way first. Since 1 yard = 1/1,760 mile, you can convert miles to yards by dividing by 1/1,760, which is the same as multiplying by 1,760. Multiplying is usually simpler.
A yard is a short distance, often used for sports fields and fabric. A mile is much longer and often used for road distance.
1 mile = 1,760 yards, so a mile is 1,760 times longer than a yard.
They are the same anywhere the statute mile is used. That’s the common mile for roads in the U.S. and U.K. Some fields use other miles (like the nautical mile), but that’s not used for yards.

Yes. mi is the standard abbreviation for mile.
Example: 2 mi = 3,520 yd
Yes. yd is the standard abbreviation for yard.
Example: 1,760 yd = 1 mi
Multiply the decimal miles by 1,760.
Example: 1.2 × 1,760 = 2,112 yards
Use simple chunks:
Example: 1.75 miles = 1 mile + 0.75 mile = 1,760 + (0.5 + 0.25)= 1,760 + 880 + 440 = 3,080 yards
