The average distance from Earth to the Moon is 384,400 kilometers. What is this distance in miles, rounded to the nearest 100 miles?

Distance in miles to the nearest hundred miles = 238900 miles

Explanation:

The average distance of the earth to the moon is 384, 400 km. To get the distance in miles we need to convert kilometer to miles.

1 km = 0.621371 miles

1 km = 0.621371 miles

384, 400 km = ?

cross multiply to get the miles value of 384,400 km

Distance in miles = 384,400 * 0.621371

Distance in miles = 238855.0124 miles

The nearest hundred miles is gotten when you locate the hundred value. The value start from the second 8 value upward. The closest hundred mile of 855 is 900 since 855 is more closer to 900 than 800.

Rounding to the nearest hundred miles = 238900 miles

1.6 km = 1 miles.

384,400 km = x miles

Cross multiply

1.6 * x = 384,400

Divide by 1.6

1.6*x/1.6 = 384400 / 1.6

x = 240,250

Round to the nearest 100

x = 240,300 rounded to the nearest 100
