Answer:

3.11 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

First we have to get the distance into meters

The problem says there are 5 kilometers in a race and 1000 meters in a kilometer so 5 kilometers is 5000 meters

Now we turn the meters into miles

It says a mile is about 1609.34 so we can divide the amount of meters by how many meters are in a mile

5000/1609.34 = 3.106

Round to the nearest tenth

3.106 ⇒ 3.11

The answer is 3.11 miles

Hope this helps!
