Question

While in France, Judy wants to sign up for a bike tour to see the countryside. She likes a tour that is 40 kilometers long, but she isn't sure how far that is. She decides to estimate the distance in miles. If Judy uses the fact that 1 kilometer is about 0.6 miles, what will her estimate be?

Answer 1

The correct answer is 24 miles.

Explanation:

Since 1 x 40 = 40, we must multiply 0.6 by 40.

0.6 x 40 = 24

Therefore, the tour is an estimate of 24 miles.
