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.

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
