Respuesta :

Answer:

Distance  between Jeremiah and  Juarez is 55.3 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given

1 mile is approximately 1.61 kilometers

so,

1.61 km =1 mile

we can divide both sides by 1.61

[tex]1km=\frac{1}{1.61}mile[/tex]

now, to find for 89 km

we can multiply both sides by 89

[tex]89\times 1km=89\times\frac{1}{1.61}mile[/tex]

now, we can simplify it

and we get

89 km =55.2795 mile

so, nearest tenth is

89 km =55.3 mile

So,

Distance  between Jeremiah and  Juarez is 55.3 miles
