Question

Justin Kace is promoting the metric system and wants people to be able to convert miles to kilometers and kilometers to miles. Develop a program that asks the user for a number of miles and converts miles to kilometers (multiplying miles by 1.609), and then asks for a number of kilometers and converts kilometers to miles (multiplying kilometers by 0.6214).

Answer 1

//Program heading

Display "Kilometers to
`$\text{Miles}$` and
`$\text{Miles}$` to Kilometers Conversion Program"

//Get
`$\text{Miles}$`

Display "Enter the
`$\text{miles}$`: "

Input
`$\text{miles}$`

//Convert
`$\text{miles}$` to kilometers and display result

converted_km =
`$\text{miles}$` x 1.609

Display "Converted kilometers = " + converted_km

//Get Kilometers

Display "Enter the kilometers: "

Input km

//Convert kilometers to
`$\text{miles}$` and display result

converted_
`$\text{miles}$` = km x 0.6214

Display "Converted
`$\text{miles}$` = " + converted_
`$\text{miles}$`

//Thank the user for using this program

Display "Thank you for using this program. Good-bye!"

Sample Output:

Kilometers to
`$\text{Miles}$` and
`$\text{Miles}$` to Kilometers Conversion Program

Enter the
`$\text{miles}$`: 10

Converted kilometers = 16.09

Enter the kilometers: 10

Converted
`$\text{miles}$` = 6.214

Thank you for using this program. Good-bye!
