Answer:

a.divide 100 by 1.609

Explanation:

We know the relation between miles and kilometers

1 mile = 1.609 km

Now, we have to convert 100 km to miles.

Let x miles in 100 kilometers.

Hence, we have


(1)/(1.609)=(x)/(100)\\\\x=(100)/(1.609)

Therefore, we can see that we have divided 100 by 1.609 in order to find the number of miles in 100 km.

Therefore, a is the correct option.
