Actually, the size of a mile and the size of the yard already existed. Someone - no way to tell who - changed yards to feet (3 feet = yard) and divided that number into the number of feet in a mile. (5,280)
So, 5,280 divided by 3 = 1,760 yards in a mile. (Not 160)
All that was used was simple arithmetic.
There are 1760 yards in one mile. Therefore, 3 miles 160 yards is equal to (3 x 1760) + 160 = 5280 + 160 = 5440 yards.
160 yards = ~146.3 meters.
160 yards = 146.30400 m
160 feet = 53.3333333 yards
160 rods equals 0.5 (half) of a mile.
There are 3 feet in one yard. Therefore, 160 yards is equal to 160 x 3 = 480 feet.
160 square feet = 17.7 square yards.
There are 320 rods in a mile. So, 160 rods would be half a mile.
There are 0.9144 metres in one yard. Therefore, 160 yards is equal to 160 x 0.9144 = 146.304 metres.
5,760 inches = 160 yards.
160 feet is 53.33 yards.
10 ft * 16 ft = 160 sq ft = 160/9 = 17.77.. recurring sq yards. 10 ft * 16 ft = 160 sq ft = 160/9 = 17.77.. recurring sq yards. 10 ft * 16 ft = 160 sq ft = 160/9 = 17.77.. recurring sq yards. 10 ft * 16 ft = 160 sq ft = 160/9 = 17.77.. recurring sq yards.
