Answer 1

8.45 kilometers

Explanation:

Given

The distance from library to post office = 5.25 miles

We are given that one mile is equal to 1.61 kilometers

So to find the distance from the library to post office in kilometers we have to multiply 5.25 with 1.61

So,

The distance from library to post office in kilometers = 5.25*1.61

8.4525

Rounding off to nearest hundredth

8.45 kilometers ..
