Since 8 km = 5 miles, we need to convert 960 km into miles.
Here's how to work it out:
8 km = 5 miles
= 120
Why I divided 960 km by 8 km? Remember that 8 km = 5 miles. Divide 960 km by 8 km to find how many units of "5 miles" can be found in 960 km. There are 120 units of "5 miles" in 960 km.
Let's continue working it out:
120 x 5 miles = 600 miles.
Why I multiplied 5 by 120? Since we have to find how many miles are there in 960 km, and since there are 120 units of "5 miles" in 960 km, multiply 5 by 120 to find how many miles are in 960 km.
The answer 600 miles.
I hope this helps! I tried to break it down into easy terms :)
