Guest: hello there do you have a conversion chart it makes this much easier, probably, what am i thinking. ok so lets get started i am going to go through the question instead of giving you the answer like most people so you can answer other questions like this one the lines are there to show you where the numbers are from sorry if i make it sound like i'm talking you down i really don't mean it. its just a curse that i have
A marathon run is 26 miles 365 yards. what is the distance in kilometers?
1760 yds =1 mi------| |
1 mi = 1.609 km | |
| |
365yds / 1 * 1mi / 1760yds |
|---------------------------------
always remember to put the unit you're trying to convert to on the top of the fraction. the yds cancel each other.
365 / 1 * 1mi / 1760 = 0.2073863636363636 mi
0.2073863636363636 mi + 26 mi = 26.2073863636363636 mi 1 mi = 1.609 km
26.2073863636363636 mi / 1 * 1.609 km / 1 mi ------------------------|----------|
mi's cancel
26.2073863636363636 / 1 * 1.609 km / 1 = 42.1676846590909090324 km and you can round to the nearest whatever
hope that helps and have a wonderful day
