Question

Convert \[3.25\,miles\,to\,kilometers\].

Answer 1

Hint: We know, $1\,mile = \,1.61\,km$. So, to convert miles to kilometers we have to multiply the given value in miles with $1.61\,km$.

Complete step by step answer: As discussed above, $1\,mile = \,1.61\,km$.
Here we are given $3.25$ miles which we have to convert in kilometers.
So, to convert $3.25$ miles to kilometers, we have to multiply $3.25$ with $1.61\,km$.
Converting miles to kilometers:
According to the question,
We are given $3.25\,miles$.
\[3.25{\text{ }}miles = 3.25\, \times \,1.61 = 5.23{\text{ }}km\].
Hence, we get our answer as $5.23\,km$.
So, the answer of the above question after converting miles to kilometers is $5.23\,km$

Additional Information: Some other important conversions are given below:
For converting miles to foot, multiply the term by $5280$.
For converting miles to yards, multiply the term by $1760$.
For converting feet to inches, multiply the term by $12$.
For converting yards to foot, multiply the term by $3$.

Note: Also, for converting miles to kilometers, there is one another way. First divide the term by $5$ and then multiply it by $8$. For converting kilometers to miles, first divide the term by $8$ and then multiply by $5$.
Alternate Method:
We are dividing the given term in miles by 5 as discussed above and then multiplying the answer obtained by 5 to get the desired result in kilometers.
\[
  \dfrac{{3.25}}{5} = \,0.65 \\
  0.65\, \times \,8\, = \,5.2\,km \\
 \]
Hence, we get the same answer by this method also.
You can follow any of the above methods which you find easy to understand for converting miles to kilometers.
