Explanation:

Hello, I think I can help you with this

you can easily solve this by using a simple rule of three

Step one

If 1 mile is approximately 1.61 kilometers,it is

1 miles ⇔ 1.61 Kilometers

the, how many miles(x) are 89 km?

x ⇔ 89 kilometers

the relation is

`(1\ mile)/(1.61\ km)=(x)/(89\ km) \\`

Step two

solve for x( isolating x)

`(1\ mile)/(1.61\ km)=(x)/(89\ km) \\(1\ mile*89\ km)/(1.61\ km)=x\\x=55.27\ miles`

55.27 miles

Have a good day
