Answer:

[tex]x=\dfrac{y}{0.62}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]5\ \text{km}=3.1\ \text{miles}\\\Rightarrow 1\ \text{km}=\dfrac{3.1}{5}=0.62\ \text{miles}[/tex]

[tex]10\ \text{km}=6.2\ \text{miles}\\\Rightarrow 1\ \text{km}=\dfrac{6.2}{10}=0.62\ \text{miles}[/tex]

Let [tex]y[/tex] be the distance in miles. So distance in km is given by

[tex]x=\dfrac{y}{0.62}[/tex].

The equation that shows the approximate distance in kilometers as a function if the distance in miles is [tex]x=\dfrac{y}{0.62}[/tex].
