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?
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.
