Hint: Before solving the problem, we need to know the following terminologies.
Feet: It is the unit of length. It is used in the imperial, United States customary as well as other systems of measurement.
It is defined as, $ 1ft = 0.3048m $
Miles: It is a unit of length. It is generally used to measure the distance. It is a United state custom and British imperialism.
It is defined as \[1mile = 1609.34m\]

Complete step-by-step answer:
As given in the question we need to convert $ 1000ft $ into miles
So, as we know that $ 1mile = 5280ft $
We need to convert $ 1000ft\operatorname{in} miles $
 $
  1ft = \dfrac{1}{{5280}}miles \\
   \Rightarrow 1000ft = 1000\left[ {\dfrac{1}{{5280}}} \right]miles \\
   \Rightarrow 1000ft = 0.1894miles \;
  $
Hence, the conversion of \[1000ft\,\operatorname{in} miles\,is\, = 0.1894\]
So, the correct answer is “ 0.1894 Miles”.

Note: To measure lengths and distances there are a lot of units used like meter, foot, miles and centimeter etc. There is an SI unit which is world wide accepted and it is used in measurements of distances when traction is taking place between different countries. SI unit of length is meter. Length is a basic term.
