    He needs to complete a distance of 4,030 yards around the rink to make a total skating distance of 3 miles

    Step-by-step explanation:

    In this question, we are asked to calculate the number of yards needed to complete 3 miles skating around a rink.

    We proceed as follows;

    First, we can see he has skated 5 times around a rink that has a distance of 250 yards. His total distance covered would be 250 * 5 = 1250 yards

    Now he is looking at completing 3 miles, we need to know the number of yards in 3 miles.

    Mathematically, 1 mile = 1760 yards

    3 miles = 3 * 1760 = 5,280 yards

    To know the number of yards he need to skate more, we simply carry out a subtraction;

    5,280 yards - 1250 yards = 4,030 yards
