Question

Juan walks 1.5 miles to school each day. How many meters does he walk in one day?

Answer 1

Juan walks 1.5 miles per school every day.

Considering that the equivalence between the units is 1 mile= 1.609 meters

To convert miles into meters you can use cross multiplication:

If 1 miles is 1609 mts

Then 1.5 miles are x mts

`\begin{gathered} (1609)/(1)=(x)/(1.5) \\ x=((1609)/(1))1.5 \\ x=2413.5 \end{gathered}`

He walks 2413.5 meters to school every day.
