Answer:

3.0 miles

Explanation:

Using the conversion 1 mile equals 1.6093 km to convert 4.9 kilometers to miles, round to the nearest tenth of a mile.

1 mile = 1.6093 km

Convert 4.9km to mile

We can use cross multiplication :

Let the number of miles = m

1 mile = 1.6093 km

'm' miles = 4.9 km

Cross multiply :

m × 1.6093 = 4.9 × 1

m = 4.9 / 1.6093

m = 3.0448020 miles

Rounding 3.0448020 to the nearest tenth :

3.0 miles
