About 1.25 miles

A very good approximation for conversion is
1 Km = 5/8 miles
Therefore, 2 Km = 10/8 miles = 5/4 = 1.25 miles (Approx).
Very useful to know this quick conversion especially if you are driving in Europe!

Another easier way of doing it is 5 miles is approx 8 kilometers so to get from kilometers to miles you divide by 8 and times by 5. eg
2 (kilometers) / 8 = 0.25
0.25 x 5 = 1.25 miles
it also works the other way if you do the whole sum backwards to get from miles to kilometers. Just divide by 5 and times by 8.
eg
1.25 (miles) / 5 = 0.25
0.25 x 8 = 2 kilometers
all you have to do is plug in your numbers instead :-) (I find this way quite easy if i havent got a calculator)

1 mile is equivalent to 1.60934 kilometres (km)
1km is equivalent to 0.62137 miles
Hence, 2 km is
0.62137 x 2 =1.2427 miles
= 1.24 miles (3sf)

One mile is approx 1.6 km
so 2 km = 2/1.6 is approximately 1.25 miles

Given:
2km = _______ miles
1 km = 0.6213712 mile (based on SI unit)
= 2 km( 0.6213712miles/ 1km)
= 1.2427424 miles

1 Km = 0.62 miles.
So 2 KM = 2 X 0.62 miles= 1.24 miles.
