Question

3. There are about 1.61 kilometers in 1 miles. Let x represent a distance measured in kilometers and y represent the same distance measured in miles. Write two equations that relate a distance measured in kilometers and the same distances measured in miles.

Answer 1

We have been given that there are about 1.61 kilometers in 1 miles.

Let x represent a distance measured in kilometers and y represent the same distance measured in miles.

We can set two equations from the given information as:  

$x=\frac{1}{1.16}*y$ (Number of kilometers in terms of number of miles)

$y=1.61*x$  (Number of miles in terms of number of kilometers)

Therefore, $x=\frac{1}{1.16} y$ and $y=1.61*x$ will be our equations.
