Answer: (A)

Verified step by step guidance

1. Identify the given distance in meters, which is 10,000 m.
2. Recall the conversion factor between meters and miles: 1 mile is approximately equal to 1609 meters.
3. Set up the conversion by dividing the distance in meters by the number of meters in one mile: \(\text{distance in miles} = \frac{\text{distance in meters}}{1609}\).
4. Substitute the given distance into the formula: \(\text{distance in miles} = \frac{10,000}{1609}\).
5. Perform the division to find the distance in miles (this step is for calculation, but you are not required to provide the final numerical answer here).
