Question

Use the fact that 1 kilometer = 0.62 miles to convert 3,070 meters to miles.

Round to the nearest hundredth

Answer 1

Answer: 1.90 miles

Explanation:

The conversion rate for meters to kilometers is 1 meter for 0.001 kilometers. Using this rate you can do,
`3070m*(0.001km)/(1m)`. The m units cancel and you're left with 3.07km. Since we are given the conversion rate of 1 kilometer = 0.62 miles, we can do,
`3.07km*(0.62mi)/(1km)`. again the km units cancel and you're left with 1.9034 mi. Rounded to the nearest hundredth to get 1.90.
