Question

Imelda rode her bicycle 39 kilometers. If 1 meter = 1.094 yards, find the distance Imelda rode her bicycle to the nearest mile. (Hint: 1 mi = 1760 yd)

Answer 1

Answer: 24.24 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

We should note that 1000 metres = 1 kilometer.

Imelda rode her bicycle 39 kilometers which will be converted to meters a:

= 39 × 1000

= 39000 meters

Since 1 meter = 1.094 yards

39000 meters = 39000 × 1.094 = 42666 yards

To find find the distance Imelda rode her bicycle to the nearest mile goes thus:

1 mi = 1760 yd

42666 yards will be converted to miles. This will be: 42666/1760 = 24.24 miles
