45 miles is approximately 72 kilometres

Known: 1 mile = 1.609344 Km

Using rounded to 1 decimal place: 1 mile=1.6 Km
'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We have 45 miles

Using ratios write the relationship 1 mile=1.6 Km as

#" "("kilometres")/("miles")->1.6/1#

We need 45 miles

Multiply by 1 but in the form of #1=45/45#

#("kilometres")/("miles")->1.6/1xx1" " = " "1.6/1xx45/45#

# = 72/45#

So 45 miles is approximately 72 kilometres
