Quick estimate in your head

For a rough answer, multiply by about 5000: 6 × 5000 ≈ 30,000 ft, against the exact 31,680 ft (5.3% out). Good enough to check that a calculated result is sensible.

Common mistakes

The usual slip is using the factor the wrong way round. A mile is bigger than a foot, so the number of feet must come out larger than the number of miles. If your answer goes the other way, divide instead of multiplying.
