Question

The Jules Verne novel "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" tells the story of the voyage of the submarine Nautilus. If one league equals 3 miles, how many kilometers did the Nautilus travel on its journey? Please round your answer to the 100's place

Answer 1

Answer:

96558.00 kilometers

Explanation:

From the title of the novel, it is assumed that the submarine covered 20,00 leagues on its journey.

1 league = 3 miles, therefore;

20,000 leagues = 20,000 x 3 = 60,000 miles.

1 mile = 1.6093 km

Hence,

60,000 miles = 60,000 x 1.6093 km

            = 96,558 km

               = 96558.00 km to the 100's place

Therefore, 96558.00 kilometers was covered by Nautilus during the journey.
