Answer:
75 Kilometers
Explanation:
We have been given that the distance between two towns is 120 km.
We are also told that there are approximately 8 km in 5 miles. Let us find number of miles per km by dividing 5 by 8.
\text{Number of miles in 1 km}=\frac{5\text{ miles}}{\text{8 Km}}
\text{Number of miles in 1 km}=0.625\frac{\text{ miles}}{\text{ Km}}
Therefore, there are 0.625 miles in 1 km.
To convert our given distance into miles we will multiply our given distance by number of miles in 1 km.
\text{Number of miles in 120 km}=120\text{ km}\times \frac{0.625\text{ miles}}{\text{ km}}
\text{Number of miles in 120 km}=120\times 0.625\text{ miles}
\text{Number of miles in 120 km}=75\text{ miles}
Therefore, the distance between two towns is 75 miles.
