. A mile is farther than a kilometer. Consider a fixed distance, like the diameter of the moon. Would the number expressing this distance be larger in miles or in kilometers? Explain.

Respuesta :

Let's start with the first sentence in this question. "A mile is farther than a kilometer." This means that there are 1.60934 kilometers in 1 mile. Both represent the same distance, but one number is larger than the other. Keeping that in mind, think about how many miles there are from Earth to the moon. (238,900 miles)

The number expressing the distance from Earth to the Moon would be larger in kilometers.

The number is larger in kilometers. Since each kilometer is smaller than a mile, you need more uvvum to get you there.
