Question

If 2 miles is equal to 3,218.7 meters,how many meters are in 5 miles?

Answer 1

So if 2 miles = 3218.7 meters
then 1 mile = 3218.7/2 = 1609.35
Therfore 5 miles = 5 × 1609.35 = 8046.75

Answer 2

5 miles = 26,400 feet. (1 meter = 3.28 feet) so 26,400/3.28 = 8048.68 = 8049 meters. There are 8049 meters in 5 miles.
