15 yards=36 inches in a yard times 15=540in 5yds=36 times 5=180 in so 180 times 540=97,200 in^2
5280 feet in a mile so 5280 times 20= 105,600 feet
105,600>9,200 so 'feet in a 20 mile walk' is more

There are 97,200 square inches in a piece of carpet measuring 15 by 5 yards and 105,600 feet in a 20-mile walk. Thus, there are more feet in the 20-mile walk than square inches in the carpet. The comparison shows that 105,600 feet is significantly larger than 97,200 square inches.
