What fraction of a mile is half a kilometre?

Answer 1

One kilometer is 0.621371 miles (just over half), so half a kilometer is 0.3106855 miles (just under a third). round that to the nearest hundredth, and you get .31, so about 31/100ths of a mile.

Answer 2

d = ( 0.5 km ) ( 1000 m / km ) ( 3.2808 ft / m ) ( 1mi / 5280 ft )

d = ( 1/2 km ) ( 0.6214 mi / km ) = 0.3207 mi

d = 1/2 km ~ 3/8 mile

One half of a kilometer is about 3/8 of a mile. <-------------
