Question

To prepare for a bike race, Rex rides his bike for 13 miles each day for 5 days. The app he uses only tracks distance in kilometers. If 1 mile = 1.61 kilometers, what is Rex's distance in kilometers? Round the answer to the nearest hundredth.

8.07 kilometers
104.65 kilometers
20.93 kilometers
26.19 kilometers

Answer 1

To convert miles to kilometers, you need to multiply the number of miles by 1.61, since 1 mile is equal to 1.61 kilometers.

Rex rides his bike for 13 miles per day for 5 days, so his total distance in miles is 13 * 5 = 65 miles.

To convert this distance to kilometers, you need to multiply by 1.61, so Rex's distance in kilometers is 65 * 1.61 = 104.65.

Rex's distance in kilometers is therefore 104.65 kilometers.
