Question

How many meters in 2.50 miles? (Use these two conversions: 1000 m = 1 km and 1.00 km = .621 mi )

Answer 1

2.50 miles is equal to 4026 m.

Explanation:

As it is known that 1000 m =1 km and 1 km = 0.621 miles. So first we have to convert miles to km and then to metre as follows.

As 1 km = 0.621 miles, then

             $\text { 1 miles }=\frac{1}{0.621} \mathrm{km}$

So, 2.50 miles will be equal to

            $2.50 \text { miles }=\frac{2.50}{0.621} \mathrm{km}=4.026 \mathrm{km}$

Then, in order to get the answer in meters, we have to convert this km to meter by the conversion of 1000 m =1 km.  So,

           $1 \mathrm{km}=1000 \mathrm{m}$

Thereby,

          $4.026 \mathrm{km}=4026 \mathrm{m}$
