Question

According to a map Vincent lives 32 km from Frank. What is the distance in miles?Distance Equivalent1km=0.62 miles

Answer 1

Let's begin by listing out the information given to us:

distance between Vincent & Frank = 32km

distance equivalent is given by 1km=0.62 miles​

We will convert the distance from km to miles using the conversion factor:

$\begin{gathered} 1km=0.62miles​ \\ 32km=x \\ \text{Cross multiply, we have:} \\ x\cdot1km=32km\cdot0.62miles \\ \text{Divide both sides by 1km, we have:} \\ \frac{x\cdot1km}{1km}=\frac{32km\cdot0.62miles}{1km} \\ x=32\cdot0.62miles=19.84miles \\ x=19.84miles \end{gathered}$
