    5883 ft 9 in

    Explanation:

    1 mile = 5280 feet

    1 yard = 3 feet

    Multiplying the second equation by 201.25, we get ...

    ... 201.25 yd = 603.75 ft

    Then adding the two equations, we have ...

    ... 1 mile 201.25 yd = 5280 ft + 603.75 ft = 5883.75 ft

    We know that 1 ft = 12 in, so we can multiply this equation by 0.75 to get ...

    ... 0.75 ft = 9 in

    Then our total paving length is 5883 ft 9 in.
