Question
While in France, Judy wants to sign up for a bike tour to see the countryside. She likes a tour that is 40 kilometers long, but she isn't sure how far that is. She decides to estimate the distance in miles. If Judy uses the fact that 1 kilometer is about 0.6 miles, what will her estimate be?

To convert kilometers to miles, Judy can use the conversion factor that 1 kilometer is approximately 0.6 miles. To find the equivalent distance in miles for 40 kilometers, she can perform the following calculation:
\[
\text{Distance in miles} = \text{Distance in kilometers} \times \text{Conversion factor}
\]
Substituting the values:
\[
\text{Distance in miles} = 40 \, \text{kilometers} \times 0.6 \, \text{miles/kilometer}
\]
Calculating this gives:
\[
\text{Distance in miles} = 40 \times 0.6 = 24 \, \text{miles}
\]
Thus, Judy's estimate for the 40 kilometers is approximately **24 miles**.
