Answer 2

0.50 miles

Explanation:

We can use two unit converters to solve this problem.

• 1 mile = 1.61 kilometers, and
• 1000 meters = 1 kilometers

Thus, we can setup the ratio below and solve:

`800 Meter*(1Kilometer)/(1000Meter)*(1Mile)/(1.61Kilometer)\\=(800*1*1)/(1000*1.61)Mile\\=(800)/(1610)Mile\\=0.497Mile`

Rounding to 2 decimal places, 800 meters = 0.50 miles.
