Question

Using the approximation of 5 miles = 8 km How many km is 6 miles?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Divide 8 by 5 to represent how much greater km's is than miles:

`(8)/(5) =1.60`

km is 1.6 times greater than miles, using the approximation.

Multiply 6 and 1.6 to represent the amount of km's:

`6 * 1.6= 9.6`

There is 9.6 km's in 6 miles
