Final answer:
To convert the distance from kilometers to miles, divide the distance ridden in kilometers by the conversion factor. Round the result to the nearest whole number for the final answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
To convert the distance from kilometers to miles, we need to use the conversion factor:
1 mile = 1.61 kilometers
First, we need to find the distance Imelda rode her bicycle in miles. We can do this by dividing the distance ridden in kilometers by the conversion factor:
39 kilometers / 1.61 kilometers/mile = 24.22 miles
Since we need to find the distance to the nearest mile, we round 24.22 to the nearest whole number, which is 24 miles.
