Question

Morgan ran 5 kilometers. How many miles did she run? (Note: 1

mile=1.609 kilometer) Round to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

Therefore, The answer is 3.1

Explanation:

Morgan ran 5 kilometers. How many miles did she run?

(Note: 1 mile=1.609 kilometer)

Now, we will use the conversion to find the number of kilometers in miles.

The conversion is:

1 mile = 1.609 kilometers

i.e. 1 kilometers= 1/1.609 miles.

Hence,

Therefore,

Distance in miles =
`(Distance\ in\ kilometers)/(1.609)`

Now ,

we input 5kilometers in the distance to get the distance in mile

`=(5 )/(1.609) \\\\= 3.1075`

Round to the nearest tenth.

Therefore, The answer is 3.1

Answer 2

3.11 miles

Explanation:

She runs 5 kilometers

How many miles did she run

1 mile=1.609 kilometer

x miles=5 kilometers

5 kilometers/x=1.609 kilometers/1

Cross multiplication

5 kilometers=1.609*x(miles)

x(miles)=5/1.609

x=3.1075 miles

Approximately

5 kilometers=3.11
