CONVERSION

A cyclist covers a distance of 1.5 miles. Hw far is this in km if 5 miles are equivalent to 8km

Answer 1

1.5 miles is equivalent to 2.4 kilometers.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert 5 miles to kilometers, we can use the conversion factor given: 5 miles = 8 km.

Since we need to find the distance in kilometers for 1.5 miles, we can set up a proportion:

5 miles / 8 km = 1.5 miles / x km.

Cross multiplying, we get:

5 * x = 8 * 1.5

x = (8 * 1.5) / 5

x = 12 / 5

x = 2.4

Therefore, 1.5 miles is equivalent to 2.4 kilometers.
