Answer 1

Answer:

1) Newbury Park → The distance is accurate.

2) Thousand Oaks → The distance is not accurate.

3) Los Angeles → The distance is not accurate.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is important to remember that:

$1\ mile=1.609\ kilometers$

Knowing this, you can make the corresponding conversions:

1) Newbury Park

10 miles to kilometers:

$(10\ mi)(\frac{1.609\ km}{1\ mi})=16.0\ km$

The distance shown in that California highway sign is accurate.

2) Thousand Oaks

13 miles to kilometers:

$(13\ mi)(\frac{1.609\ km}{1\ mi})=20.9\ km$

The distance shown in that California highway sign is not accurate.

3) Los Angeles

55 miles to kilometers:

$(55\ mi)(\frac{1.609\ km}{1\ mi})=88.4\ km$

The distance shown in that California highway sign is not accurate.
