3.6 miles = x km * 1.6
3.6 miles = 5.8 km or C

Answer:

5.8

Explanation:

In the question, the hint is given that 1 mile = 1.6 kilometers

Now when the unit conversion has to be done and we need to move from. lower unit to higher unit we simply multiply it by the number which in this case is 1.6.

Now to convert 3.6 miles to kilometers we simply need to multiply 3.6 with 1.6.

Therefore, 3.6*1.6 = 5.76 which approximately equal to 5.8.

Therefore, 3.6 miles represent approximately 5.8 kilometers.
