Q. Abby knows that 1 mile is about 1.61 kilometers. She wants to write an equation she can use to convert any given distance in miles (m) to kilometers (k).How should Abby write her equation?Choose 1 answer:(A) 1.61=mk(B) 1.61m=k(C) 1.61k=m
Convert Miles to Kilometers: Abby needs to convert miles to kilometers, so she needs a formula where she multiplies the miles by the conversion factor to get kilometers.
Conversion Factor: The conversion factor from miles to kilometers is 1 mile = 1.61 kilometers. So, the equation should multiply the number of miles (m) by 1.61 to get the number of kilometers (k).
Equation Verification: The correct equation should look like k=1.61×m. This matches with option (B) 1.61m=k.
