Answer

The length of the jogging track in miles is \(\boxed{0.2}\).

Steps

Step 1 :The problem is asking to convert 352 yards into miles. We know that 1 mile is equal to 1760 yards.

Step 2 :We can use this ratio to find out how many miles are there in 352 yards. The formula to convert yards to miles is \( \frac{yards}{yards\_per\_mile} = miles \).

Step 3 :Substitute the given values into the formula: \( \frac{352}{1760} = miles \).

Step 4 :Simplify the expression to get the final answer: \( miles = 0.2 \).

Step 5 :The length of the jogging track in miles is \(\boxed{0.2}\).
