See Explanation Below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{8\ miles}{1} * \frac{1.61\ kilometres}{1\ mile} * \frac{1000\ metres}{1\ kilometer} =$

Required

What steps should be taken to complete the conversion?

The first step is to cancel out equal units;

Kilometre(s) will cancel out Kilometre(s)

Mile(s) will cancel out Miles

And we'll be left with metres

This is shown below

$\frac{8\ miles}{1} * \frac{1.61\ kilometres}{1\ mile} * \frac{1000\ metres}{1\ kilometer} =$

$\frac{8\ miles}{1\ mile} * \frac{1.61\ kilometres}{1\ kilometre} * \frac{1000\ metres}{1} =$

$\frac{8}{1} * \frac{1.61}{1} * \frac{1000\ metres}{1} =$

The next step is to perform all multiplications

$\frac{8 * 1.61 *1000\ metres}{1 * 1 * 1} =$

$\frac{12,880\ metres}{1} =$

$12,880\ metres$
