Question

One mile is equal to about 1.6 kilometers. If the distance between 2 cities is 4 kilometers, then how many mils apart are the 2 cities

Answer 1

Distance between two cities in miles is 2.5 miles.

Explanation:

Given:

One mile = 1.6 kilometres.

Distance between two cities = 4 kilometres

To find:

The distance between two cities in miles=?

Solution:

1.6 kilometers = 1 miles

So,

`1 kilometer = (1)/(1.6) miles`

So
`4 kilometers = 4 * (1)/(1.6) miles= 2.5 miles`

As distance between two cities is 4 kilometer and 4 kilometer = 2.5 miles , so we can conclude that distance between two cities in miles is 2.5 miles.
