    Distance=3.1 miles

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Step 1: Determine how many meters make a mile

    The conversion rate expression is;

    1 mile=1.60934 kilometers

    Step 2: Convert 5 km to miles

    Using the expression below;

    Distance in miles=distance in kilometers/1.60934

    where;

    distance in kilometers=5 km

    replacing;

    Distance in miles=5/1.60934

    Distance in miles=3.10686 miles

    Step 3: Round off to nearest tenth of a mile

    Nearest tenth of a mile=1/10=0.1, the same as rounding of to the nearest 1 decimal place

    Distance 3.10686 miles rounded off to 1 decimal place=3.1 miles

    Distance=3.1 miles
