Answer:
Cancel the mile and kilometer units. Multiply 8 by 1.61, then multiply by 1000
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
8 miles / 1 × 1.61 km / 1 mile × 1000 meters / 1km
The steps to be taken:
Step 1 : Cancel the mile and kilometer units.
Kilometers will cancel out Kilometers
Miles will cancel out Miles
8 miles / 1 × 1.61 km / 1 mile × 1000 meters / 1km
= (8 / 1 ) × (1.61 / 1 ) × (1000 meters / 1)
= 8 × 1.61 × 1000 meters
Step 2: Multiply 8 by 1.61, then multiply by 1000
8 × 1.61 × 1000 meters
= 12,880 meters
The next step to complete the conversion is to Cancel the mile and kilometer units. Multiply 8 by 1.61, then multiply by 1000
