If you are driving, the easiest solution is to look at your speedometer, which shows miles and kilometres round the same dial. (Its just like converting between C or F on a dual thermometer.)
Otherwise....remember this sequence... 3, 5, 8.
(.A useful reminder is the simple sum... 3 + 5 = 8)
ok, so with these three numbers, ie 3,5,8, you can do most conversions, going higher to convert to kilometers, moving lower to convert to miles...
examples...
3 miles = 5 km. ( more in km, move up a number)
5 miles = 8 km ( more in km, move up a number)
5 km = 3 miles (fewer miles, move down a number)
8 km = 5 miles (fewer miles, move down a number)
got the idea? its all based on 3,5,8
Now try adding zeros, which just remain unchanged...
30 miles = 50 km (move up for km)
80 km = 50 miles (move down for miles)
and finally, for other numbers, first break it down into 3s, 5s, and 8s... convert... then add them up again.
9 miles = 3 + 3 + 3 miles = 5 + 5 + 5 km = 15km
10 miles = 5 miles + 5 miles = 8 km + 8 km = 16 km
200 km = 4 x 50 km = 4 x 30 miles = 120 miles
Its not perfect, only a rough guide, as shown here...
150 miles = 5 x 30 miles = 5 x 50km = 250 km
150 miles = 3 x 50 miles = 3 x 80km = 240 km
This is very easy if you know your multiplication tables LOL, but you are stuffed if you thought tables had no uses in life and didnt learn them!

5 miles = 8 kms, so 5 kms = 25/8 miles = 3 1/8

Since 1 kilometer is approximately 0.62 miles, all you have to do is multiply 0.62 by 5 to get the approximate number. It is roughly equal to 3.1 miles.
