Question

1 Mason ran a 10 km race. How many miles did he run? (Use 1 mi = 1.61 km) point 6.2 miles 62 8.4 miles 11,6 miles 16.1 miles

Answer 1

We know that 1 mile equals 1.61 kilometers.

So, we just have to use the following proportion to find the answer

$\begin{gathered} \frac{10\operatorname{km}}{x}=\frac{1.61\operatorname{km}}{1mi} \\ x=\frac{10}{1.61}mi \\ x\approx6.2mi \end{gathered}$

Hence, the answer is 6.2 miles.
