Question

If I run a 15 mile race this weekend, how many kilometers did I run? (round to the nearest whole number)

Answer 1

In order to convert the distance from miles to kilometers, we need to know that the conversion rate is:

1 mile = 1.609 kilometer.

So, converting 15 miles to km, we have:

`15\cdot1.609=24.1`

Rounding to the nearest whole number, the distance in kilometers is 24 km.
