Well how would you show your work?
If you tell me what you think and why, I'll show you how to show the work.
Well I started with...
20 x 1,000 and got 20,000 kilometers
next i'm thinking I should do
20,000 x ?
What do you think you should do with this fact?
1 mile = 1.60934 km
Do 1.60934 divided by 20,000?
Let's set up a proportion. Cross multiply and solve for x.
1/ 1.60934 = 20/x
x = 32.1868
20 miles = 32.1868 km
