Question

Select the best answer.

To find the number of miles in 100 kilometers, _____.

A)divide 100 by 1.609
B)multiply 100 by 1.609
C)multiply 100 by 3.281
D)divide 100 by 3.281

Answer 1

1 / 1.609 = x / 100......1 miles to 1.609 km = x miles to 100 km
cross multiply
(1.609)(x) = (1)(100)
1.609x = 100......divide 100 by 1.609 <=====
x = 100/1.609
x = 62.15 miles in 100 km

Answer 2

The conversion is given as:

A) divide 100 by 1.609

Explanation:

We know that the standard conversion of miles to kilometers is calculated as:

1 mile=1.609344 kilometers.

⇒ 1 kilometer=1/1.609344 miles

Now, we need to convert 100 kilometers to miles.

Hence,

100 kilometer =100/1.609344 miles.

Hence, option: A is the correct answer.

A)divide 100 by 1.609
