Then, with a rule of three we can found how many kilometers are 5 miles if we know that 1 mile is 1.60934 kilometers. That is:

1 mile ------------------- 1.60934 Kilometers

5 miles ----------------- X

Where X is the kilometers that are equal to 5 miles. Solving for X, we get:

`X = (5 miles*1.60934 Km)/(1 mile) = 8.0467 Km`

So, 5 run 5 miles is the same that run 8.0467 Kilometers
