*Note: you must use these exact conversion factors to get this question right.
1 foot left bracket, ft, right bracket(ft) = 12 inches left bracket, in, right bracket(in) 1 kilometer left bracket, km, right bracket(km) = 1000 meters left bracket, m, right bracket(m)
1 yard left bracket, yd, right bracket(yd) = 3 feet left bracket, ft, right bracket(ft) 1 inch left bracket, in, right bracket(in) = 2.54 centimeters left bracket, cm, right bracket(cm)
1 mile left bracket, mi, right bracket(mi) = 5280 feet left bracket, ft, right bracket(ft) 1 foot left bracket, ft, right bracket(ft) = 0.305 meters left bracket, m, right bracket(m)
1 meter left bracket, m, right bracket(m) = 100 centimeters left bracket, cm, right bracket(cm) 1 mile left bracket, mi, right bracket(mi) = 1.609 kilometers left bracket, km, right bracket(km)
To convert 5 miles into kilometers, we can use the direct conversion factor from miles to kilometers.
Using the conversion factor:
1 mile (mi) = 1.609 kilometers (km)
Now, we need to convert 5 miles to kilometers:
5 mi * 1.609 km/mi = 8.045 km
Rounded to the nearest hundredth, 5 miles is equal to 8.05 kilometers.
