If a road measures 10 miles in length, how long is it in kilometers?

a) 16 km
b) 8 km
c) 6.4 km
d) 14 km

Answer 1

The road is approximately 16.09 kilometers long.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert miles to kilometers, we can use the conversion factor that 1 mile is approximately equal to 1.609 kilometers.

So if a road measures 10 miles in length, we can multiply 10 by 1.609 to find the length in kilometers.

10 miles * 1.609 km/mile = 16.09 kilometers

Therefore, the road is approximately 16.09 kilometers long.
