Answer:
See Explanation Below
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]\frac{8\ miles}{1} * \frac{1.61\ kilometres}{1\ mile} * \frac{1000\ metres}{1\ kilometer} =[/tex]
Required
What steps should be taken to complete the conversion?
The first step is to cancel out equal units;
Kilometre(s) will cancel out Kilometre(s)
Mile(s) will cancel out Miles
And we'll be left with metres
This is shown below
[tex]\frac{8\ miles}{1} * \frac{1.61\ kilometres}{1\ mile} * \frac{1000\ metres}{1\ kilometer} =[/tex]
[tex]\frac{8\ miles}{1\ mile} * \frac{1.61\ kilometres}{1\ kilometre} * \frac{1000\ metres}{1} =[/tex]
[tex]\frac{8}{1} * \frac{1.61}{1} * \frac{1000\ metres}{1} =[/tex]
The next step is to perform all multiplications
[tex]\frac{8 * 1.61 *1000\ metres}{1 * 1 * 1} =[/tex]
[tex]\frac{12,880\ metres}{1} =[/tex]
[tex]12,880\ metres[/tex]
