Question

While in France, Judy wants to sign up for a bike tour to see the countryside. She likes a tour that is 40 kilometers long, but she isn't sure how far that is. She decides to estimate the distance in miles. If Judy uses the fact that 1 kilometer is about 0.6 miles, what will her estimate be?

Answer 1

Answer:

24 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate Judy's estimation, we would simply have to multiply the actual distance in kilometers of the tour by the number of miles that Judy believes are in a single mile. This would give us Judy's estimation for how long the tour would be in miles.

40 km. * 0.6 miles = 24 miles

Finally, we can see that Judy's estimation would be that the tour is 24 miles long. Using Judy's believed conversion rate.
