Carlos ran 8 kilometers. One mile is approximately equal to 1.6 kilometers. Which measurement is closest to the number of miles Carlos ran?

Answer 1

To convert kilometers to miles, you can use the conversion factor that 1 mile is approximately equal to 1.6 kilometers.

To find the number of miles Carlos ran, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{miles} = \frac{\text{kilometers}}{1.6} \]

In this case, Carlos ran 8 kilometers:

\[ \text{miles} = \frac{8}{1.6} = 5 \]

Therefore, the closest measurement of the number of miles Carlos ran is 5 miles.
