Explanation:

Given

`(8\ miles)/(1) * (1.61\ kilometres)/(1\ mile) * (1000\ metres)/(1\ kilometer) =`

Required

What steps should be taken to complete the conversion?

The first step is to cancel out equal units;

Kilometre(s) will cancel out Kilometre(s)

Mile(s) will cancel out Miles

And we'll be left with metres

This is shown below

`(8\ miles)/(1) * (1.61\ kilometres)/(1\ mile) * (1000\ metres)/(1\ kilometer) =`

`(8\ miles)/(1\ mile) * (1.61\ kilometres)/(1\ kilometre) * (1000\ metres)/(1) =`

`(8)/(1) * (1.61)/(1) * (1000\ metres)/(1) =`

The next step is to perform all multiplications

`(8 * 1.61 *1000\ metres)/(1 * 1 * 1) =`

`(12,880\ metres)/(1) =`

`12,880\ metres`
