Verified step by step guidance

1. Identify the given information: the distance is 1500 meters, and the conversion factor is 1 mile = 1609 meters.
2. Set up the conversion to find miles by dividing the distance in meters by the number of meters in one mile using the formula: \(\text{miles} = \frac{\text{distance in meters}}{\text{meters per mile}}\).
3. Substitute the values into the formula: \(\text{miles} = \frac{1500}{1609}\).
4. Perform the division to calculate the equivalent distance in miles (do not calculate the final value here, just set up the expression).
5. Compare the calculated value to the given options to identify the correct equivalent distance in miles.
