4.5 miles is your anser

Answer 2

To convert an 8K race to miles, divide 8 km by 1.61 km/mile, which approximates to 4.97 miles, or about 5 miles.

Option C is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how many miles an 8K race is, we need to convert kilometers to miles. Given that 1 mile equals 1.61 kilometers, we can set up a division to find the number of miles in 8K:

1. Divide the distance in kilometers by the conversion factor: 8 km ÷ 1.61 km/mile.
2. Calculate the division: 8 ÷ 1.61 ≈ 4.97 miles.

Therefore, an 8K race is approximately 5 miles. The answer addresses Option 3) 5 miles.

To convert from meters to feet, we can use the conversion factor that 1 meter is equal to 3.281 feet.

So, for an 8K race, we need to convert 8 kilometers to feet.

8 kilometers = 8,000 meters

8,000 meters x 3.281 feet/meter = 26,246 feet

Therefore, an 8K race is approximately 26,246 feet long.

To convert from feet to miles, we can use the conversion factor that 1 mile is equal to 5,280 feet.

So, we need to convert 26,246 feet to miles.

26,246 feet / 5,280 feet/mile = 4.97 miles ≈ 5 miles

Therefore, the approximate length of an 8K race is 5 miles.
