Question

A scooter has a range of about 174 miles per tank of gas. However, if you drive it in another country, the road signs may be in kilometers. Calculate how far you can ride the scooter on a tank of gas, in kilometerskm(Round to the nearest tenth as needed.)

Answer 1

hello

the question here would require us to convert the distance from miles to kilometer

1 miles = 1.609 kilometer

174 miles = x km

cross multiply both sides and solve for x

$\begin{gathered} 1\times x=1.609\times174 \\ x=279.966\operatorname{km} \end{gathered}$

from the calculation above, 174mi is equal to 279.966km and this implies the scooter would travel a distance of 279.966km in another country

which is approximately 280km
