1.6 kilometers in every mile Write an
expression to represent the approximate
number of kilometers in m miles.
Then use the expression to find the
approximate number of kilometers in
5 miles.

Answer 1

There are about 1.6 km in every mile. Write an expression to represent the approximate number of kilometers in… ... of kilometers in M miles. Then use the expression to find the approximate number of kilometers in 5 miles ... times miles gives kilometers. (1.6 kilometers / mile) × M miles = 1.6M kilometers.

Explanation:

Answer 2

M miles would have 1.6m kilometers. Number if kilometers in 5 miles is 8 kilometers.

Using the given conversion :

• 1 mile = 1.6 km

For m miles :

1 mile = 1.6 km

m miles = 1.6m

Hence, number of kilometers in m miles is : 1.6m

For 5 miles :

Number of kilometers = 1.6(5) = 8 kilometers

Hence, there are 8 kilometers in 5 miles .
