Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, I think I can help you with this

you can easily solve this by using a simple rule of three

Step one

If 1 mile is approximately 1.61 kilometers,it is

1 miles ⇔ 1.61 Kilometers

the, how many miles(x) are 89 km?

x ⇔  89 kilometers

the relation is

$\frac{1\ mile}{1.61\ km}=\frac{x}{89\ km}$

Step two

solve for x( isolating x)

$\frac{1\ mile}{1.61\ km}=\frac{x}{89\ km} \\\frac{1\ mile*89\ km}{1.61\ km}=x\\x=55.27\ miles$

55.27 miles
