Determine the appropriate conversion factors for the following: c. mi to km

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Identify the relationship between miles and kilometers. The conversion factor is 1 mile = 1.60934 kilometers.
Set up the conversion factor as a fraction. You can write it as \( \frac{1.60934 \text{ km}}{1 \text{ mi}} \) or \( \frac{1 \text{ mi}}{1.60934 \text{ km}} \), depending on the direction of conversion.
If converting from miles to kilometers, use the conversion factor \( \frac{1.60934 \text{ km}}{1 \text{ mi}} \).
Multiply the number of miles by the conversion factor to convert to kilometers.
Ensure that the units cancel appropriately, leaving you with the desired unit of kilometers.
