3,125 m

31 m

8 m

8,000 m

Answer 1

A 5-mile race is approximately equal to 8 kilometers.

Using the conversion factor of 1 kilometer = 1,000 meters, we can calculate the total distance in meters:

8 kilometers = 8 x 1,000 meters = 8,000 meters

Therefore, a person would run 8,000 meters during a 5-mile race.
