You have to run 2.50 miles for gym class. How many meters must you run to be successful?

Answer 1

4,023.35 meters

Explanation:

You need to know a conversion factor to do this problem. The most helpful one is this:

1 mile = 1,609.34 meters

Once we know that, we just need to multiply the number of meters by 2.5.

`1609.34*2.5=4023.35`
