Understanding Distance Conversion and Calculation of Laps

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the number of complete laps Jamir needs to run around a field to cover at least 2 miles. It starts by converting the distance from miles to feet, then to yards, and finally calculates the number of laps by dividing the total yards by the distance of one lap. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of unit conversion and provides a step-by-step breakdown of the calculations, ensuring the final answer is a whole number of laps.
