Question

How many kilometers are there in 10 miles?

Answer 1

Hint: In the given question, we have been given to do the conversion of one unit of length to another. Here, we have to convert miles to kilometers. For solving this question, we are first going to convert a single standard unit to both of these measurements. Then we are just going to divide the two by making the given adjustments.

Complete step by step answer:
We are going to convert miles and kilometers to meters.
\[1mi = 1609.34\,m\]
\[1km = 1000\,m\]
Hence, \[1.609\,km = 1609\,m\]
Now, comparing the two equations,
\[1mi = 1.609\,km\]

So,\[10mi = 16.09\,km\]

Note: We saw that if we have been given two different measurement units whose relation we do not know, we first convert a single standard unit to each of them. Then we just divide the two things with which we will get the direct relation of the two units and then we directly solve it.
