Let's use equivalent ratios...
We'll compare ratios in the form kilometers/miles
If 1 kilometer is approximately 0.6 miles, which of the following best approximates the number of kilometers in 2 miles?
Let x = the number of kilometers that are equal to 2 miles
We can write the equation: 1/0.6 = x/2
Cross multiply to get: (1)(2) = (0.6)(x)
Simplify: 2 = 0.6x
Rewrite 0.6 as a fraction to get: 2 = (3/5)x
Multiply both sides by 5/3 to get: (5/3)(2) = (5/3)(3/5)x
Simplify: 10/3 = x
Answer: A
