Question

As an estimation we are told 5 miles is 8 km.
Convert 17.6 km to miles.

Answer 1

17.6 kilometers are equal to 11 miles.

Explanation:

Given that:

8 kilometers = 5 miles

Unit rate in terms of kilometer.

1 kilometer = 5/8 miles

Now,

We have to convert 17.6 kilometers in miles

17.6 kilometers =
`(5)/(8)*17.6`

17.6 kilometers =
`(5)/(8)*(176)/(10)`

17.6 kilometers = 11 miles

Hence,

17.6 kilometers are equal to 11 miles.
