How many miles are there in 8 km?
Answer: 8 km = 4.97096 mi.
How do you convert 8 mi to km?
Multiply by 1.609344 for the exact answer. 8 miles = 12.87 km approx. the formula to convert miles to kilometers 8 mi* 63360 in 1 mi * 2.54 cm 1 in * 1 km 100000 cm = 12.874752 km
What is (5 -2) to the left 3 units?
Here are the necessary conversions:1 ft = 12 in1 in = 2.54 cm1 m = 100 cmWhen using conversions like these, you need to make sure that the units you start with get canceled out, so the units you started with need to be in the denominator (bottom of the fraction) in your conversion factor.So we have the conversion factors*:1 = 12 in/ft1 = 2.54 cm/in1 = 1/100 m/cm = .01 m/cm(cm in denominator because previous step left us with cm)Notice that conversion factors equal 1. So when we multiply what we were given by a conversion factor, we aren't changing the value, just the units.4 ft 8 in = 4 ft * (12 in/ft) + 8 in = 4 * 12 in + 8 in = 48 in + 8 in = 56 in56 in = 56 in * (2.54 cm/in) = 142.24 cm142.24 cm = 142.24 cm * (.01 m/cm) = 1.4224 mso,4 ft 8 in = 1.4224 m---- * NOTE: Using conversion factors in this problem was pretty straightforward but what if your conversion didn't have a 1 on one side? Or, what if you were converting in the other direction?EX: 55 mi = 88 km (which I remember from speed limit signs in Canada)If we divide both sides by 11, we get: 5 mi = 8 kmThere 2 sets of conversion factors, depending on what units you're given:If given mi: 1 = 8 km / 5 mi = 8/5 km/miIf given km: 1 = 5 mi / 8 km = 5/8 mi/kmSo now we can solve both types of questions:How many kilometers in 15 miles?15 mi = 15 mi * (8 km / 5 mi) = 3 * 8 km = 24 kmHow many miles in 16 kilometers?16 km = 16 km * (5 mi / 8 km) = 2 * 5 mi = 10 mi
How far is 5 miles in km?
8.045 km Algebraic Steps / Dimensional Analysis Formula 5 mi*63360 in 1 mi*2.54 cm 1 in*1 km 100000 cm=8.04672 km Direct Conversion Formula 5 mi*1.609344 km 1 mi=8.04672 km
How many miles per hour is 8 kilometers per hour?
1mile=1.6 kilometers. divide 8 by 1.6 and you get the final answer wich is 5 miles. The formula for the conversion is:8 km* 1 mi 1.609344 km = 4.970969538 mi
