Question

You are traveling in Europe, and you see a sign stating that London is 3 kilometers away. If 1 kilometer is equal to 0.625 miles, how many miles away is London from where you are?

Answer 1

To calculate the distance from your current location to London in miles, multiply the distance in kilometers (3 km) by the conversion factor (0.625 miles/km) to get 1.875 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks how many miles London is from your current location when a sign indicates it is 3 kilometers away, and we know that 1 kilometer is equal to 0.625 miles. To find the distance in miles, we multiply the number of kilometers by the conversion factor from kilometers to miles. Here is the calculation step-by-step:

• Write down the distance to London in kilometers: 3 km.
• Write down the conversion factor from kilometers to miles: 1 km = 0.625 miles.
• Multiply the distance in kilometers by the conversion factor to get the distance in miles: 3 km × 0.625 miles/km = 1.875 miles.

The answer is that London is 1.875 miles away from your current location.
