The distance to be covered in the race is 10 kilometers. However we need to convert this to miles.

Note that, the standard rate of conversion is;


1\operatorname{km}=0.621371\text{miles}

Therefore, to convert 10 km to miles, we shall take the following steps;


\begin{gathered} 1\operatorname{km}=0.621371\text{miles} \\ 10\operatorname{km}=0.621371*10\text{ miles} \\ 10km=6.21371miles \\ \text{Rounded to the nearest tenth of a mile;} \\ 10\operatorname{km}=6.2\text{miles} \end{gathered}

ANSWER:

The distance in miles is 6.2 miles (rounded to the nearest tenth)
