Question

use the english and metric equivalents to the right, along with dimensional analysis, to convert the given measurement to the unit indicated.
177 mi to km
□ km
(round to the nearest hundredth as needed.)
approximate english and metric equivalents
1 in. = 2.54 cm
1 ft = 30.48 cm
1 yd = 0.9 m
1 mi = 1.6 km

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the conversion factor

We know that \(1\) mi \( = 1.6\) km.

Step2: Multiply the given miles by the conversion factor

To convert \(177\) mi to km, we use the formula: \( \text{Distance in km} = \text{Distance in mi} \times \text{Conversion factor} \)
So, \( 177 \times 1.6 \)

Step3: Calculate the result

\( 177 \times 1.6 = 283.2 \)

Answer:

\(283.2\)
