Question

According to his car odometer,Alfonso drove a total of 10 kilometers from his house to the movie theater and back again approximately how many miles is it between Alfonso house and the movie theater?

Answer 1

Answer:

It is approximately 3.10 miles from Alfonso's house to the movie theater

Step-by-step explanation:

First, identify what you know:

1) Alfonso drove from his house TO the movie theater, and then BACK to his house.

2) Alfonso's odometer shows him that the ENTIRE trip was 10 miles.

If the entire trip was 10 miles, and he only went to the move theater, AND took the same route back, then we simply divide 10 in half! This will give us the distance from his house the the movie theater, or rather, half of the trip, in kilometers.

10/2 = 5 kilometers.

Now, what is 5 kilometers in miles? Well, one mile is equal to 1.60934 kilometers, and one kilometer is equal to 0.621371 miles. So, simply multiply!

5 km  x 0.621371 miles = 3.106855

The approximate distance from his house to the theater is 3.10 miles!

Hope this helps! :)
