2. What unit could we use to measure long distances?

4. 1km is slightly more than ½ mile. 1 mile0

5. 1km is slightly more than ½ mile. 1 mile0

6. 1km is slightly more than ½ mile. 8km is approximately 5 miles 0 0 8km 5 miles

7. 1km is slightly more than ½ mile. 8km is approximately 5 miles What is the relationship between 1 mile and 1km? 1 mile =………km1 km = ……miles

8. 1 mile =………km1 km = ……miles

9. 0 0 8km 5 miles 1 mile =………km1 km = ……miles

10. 0 0 8km 5 miles 1 mile =1 km = 8 5 km 5 8 km

11. 0 0 5 miles 1 mile =1 km = 8 5 km 5 8 km …but how do we convert these to decimals?

14. 1 mile = 1.6 km 1km = 0.625miles

17. Extension A Can of cola is about 10 cm high. If the cans were laid end to end, how many cans would be needed to cover a distance of 1 mile?

18. 1 can = 10cm 10 cans = 1m 10,000 = 1km 10,000 x 1.6 = ????????????

19. 1 can = 10cm 10 cans = 1m 10,000 = 1km 10,000 x 1.6 = 16,000 miles
