OpenStudy (thedj4jc):

1 mile = 1.60934 So if you're trying to figure out the rate in kilometers and know the rate in miles, what are you going to do?

OpenStudy (thedj4jc):

It says to simplify the kilometer to 1.6, if you have 100 MILES per then how would you find the kilometers?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

multiply kilo by miles

OpenStudy (thedj4jc):

Yes, so you'll multiply 1.6 by 100 and you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

160

OpenStudy (thedj4jc):

Yep!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

OpenStudy (thedj4jc):

Anytime!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so is asks for rate and distance traveled in 3 hrs so 160 woulod be the traveled in 3 hrs correct?

@thedj4JC

OpenStudy (thedj4jc):

To find the distance you multiply the rate times the time, your rate is 160 in kilometers and time is 3, so multiply 160 by 3 and you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

480

OpenStudy (thedj4jc):

Right!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 480 would be the distance and the rate would be 160

OpenStudy (thedj4jc):

Yep!! :-)

thanks so much now I understand it
