In order to convert 2790 feet into miles we need to create a simple ratio. We know that 1 mile is 5280 feet. Based on that information, lets call x the unknown value of miles that will be converted.

Since 5280 feet is 1 mile.

Then 2790feet is x miles.

Lets cross multiply to find out the value of x, so 5280 times x is equal to 2790 times 1.

5280x=2790

Divide both sides with 5280.

5280x/5280 =2790/5280 

x=0.528 miles
