Question

A popular race is called a 10K because it is 10 kilometers in length. If one mile is approximately 1.6 kilometers, then how many miles is the race?

Answer 1

A 10k is totally 6.2 miles.

Explanation:

The 'K' stands for kilometer, which is 0.62 miles or 1093.6 yards. Therefore, a 10K is 10 kilometres (10,000 meters) or 6.2 miles. It's double the distance of a 5K race.
