    5 minutes ... 200 yards

    x minutes = ? ... 2 miles = 3520 yards

    To convert 2 miles to yards, you have to multiply 2 by 1760, because 1 mile equals to 1760 yards: 2 * 1760 = 3520 yards.

    If you would like to know how long does it take to clean up 2 miles, you can calculate this using the following steps:

    5 * 3520 = 200 * x

    17600 = 200 * x / 200

    x = 17600 / 200

    x = 88 minutes

    Result: It will take 88 minutes.
