Data:

13 km

Convert to miles

(1 km is equal to 0.6214 miles)


13\operatorname{km}\cdot\frac{0.6214mi}{1\operatorname{km}}=8.078mi

(1 mile is equal to 1.6093km)


13\operatorname{km}\cdot\frac{1mi}{1.6093\operatorname{km}}=8.078mi

Then, Becca lives 8.078 miles (aprroximately 8.1 miles) from Liz
