Explanation:

Answer 2

Cancel the mile and kilometer units. Multiply 8 by 1.61, then multiply by 1000

Explanation:

Given:

8 miles / 1 × 1.61 km / 1 mile × 1000 meters / 1km

The steps to be taken:

Step 1 : Cancel the mile and kilometer units.

Kilometers will cancel out Kilometers

Miles will cancel out Miles

8 miles / 1 × 1.61 km / 1 mile × 1000 meters / 1km

= (8 / 1 ) × (1.61 / 1 ) × (1000 meters / 1)

= 8 × 1.61 × 1000 meters

Step 2: Multiply 8 by 1.61, then multiply by 1000

8 × 1.61 × 1000 meters

= 12,880 meters

The next step to complete the conversion is to Cancel the mile and kilometer units. Multiply 8 by 1.61, then multiply by 1000
