The distance between New York city and Los Angeles is about 2541 miles

Further explanation

Some units of length and its conversion that need to be recalled are:

1 ~ foot = 30.48 ~ cm

1 ~ inch = 2.54 ~ cm

1 ~ foot = 12 ~ inches

1 ~ mile = 1609.34 ~ metres

1 ~ yard = 0,9144 ~ metres

1 ~\mu m = 1 \times 10^{-6} ~ m

1 ~ \text{US liquid gallon} = 3.78541 ~ litres

Some units of time and its conversion that need to be recalled are:

1 ~ month = 30 ~ days

1 ~ day = 24 ~ hours

1 ~ hour = 60 ~ minutes

1 ~ minute = 60 ~ seconds

Let us now tackle the problem !

Given:

distance = 4090 kilometers

Unknown:

distance = ? ( in miles )

Solution:

This problem is about conversion unit of length.

1 ~ mile = 1609.34 ~ metres

1 ~ mile = 1.60934 ~ kilometres

1 ~ kilometre = \frac{1}{1.60934} ~ miles

4090 ~ kilometres = \frac{1}{1.60934} \times 4090 ~ miles

4090 ~ kilometres \approx \boxed{2541 ~ miles}
