Question : 18

Total: 40

=\frac{5}{8}

Solution:

Concept:

Convert miles to kilometres using the given relation

1

kilometre

=\frac{5}{8}

mile.

Explanation:

From

1

=\frac{5}{8}

mile, we get

1

mile

=\frac{8}{5}

km.

Multiply the given distance by this conversion factor:

240

miles

= 240 \times \frac{8}{5}

km.

Simplify:

\frac{240}{5}=48

, so

240 \times \frac{8}{5}=48 \times 8=384

Hence,

240

miles equals

384

kilometres.
