60.96-mile distance in kilometers

Answer:

98.11 km

Step-by-step explanation:

60.96 mi (5280ft/mi)(12 in/ft)(2.54 cm/in)(1 m/ 100cm)(1 km/1000 m) = 98.10561024 km

however, reporting this precision to the nearest hundred millionth of a kilometer is silly as we only know the mile dimension to the nearest hundredth of a mile.

A hundredth of a mile is 5280/100 = 52.8 ft or just over 16 m

It would only be a little bit of a presumption to give our precision to the nearest 10 meters as I have done.

This also fits neatly into the significant digits rule. Both the original dimension and the converted dimension have four significant digits.
