Question

A hurricane has a large eye of about 80 miles. How many kilometers wide is the eye?

Answer 1

It is given that a hurricane has a large eye of about 80 miles.

We have to determine about how many kilometers wide is the eye.

Since 1 mile = 1.6 kilometers (approximately)

To convert the unit 'mile' into 'kilometer' ,

we have to multiply the given number by '1.6'.

So, 80 miles =
`80 * 1.6 = 128` kilometers.

So, the hurricane eye is about 128 kilometers wide.
