A family travels, by plane, five hundred miles from their city to a beach town. Then they take a taxi from the airport to the hotel at the beach. When they ask the driver how far the airport is from the hotel, he tells them twenty kilometers. What is the approximate total distance, in miles, the family traveled? Recall that 1 kilometer is about 0.62 miles.

    500m = 804.672km

    804.672km + 20 = 824.672km

    rounding it:

    825km

    To work out how many miles the distance from the airport to the beach, we can use 1km ≈ 0.62 miles

    To get from 20km from 1km, we multiply by 20

    If we do the same to 0.62

    0.62 x 20 = 12.4 miles

    Next step is to add this on to the 500 miles they travelled by plane

    500 + 12.4 = 512.4 miles
