Your question is flawed and incomplete.
1 Km =0.621 miles!
(conversely, 1 mile = 1.61 Km)
And what do you want to convert?

Because orbits are not perfectly circular (due to interaction of gravitational forces from other bodies), the distance from the Earth to the Moon is normally taken as an average.
This average distance is 384,401 kilometres
Using the CORRECT ratio of 1 Km=0.62 miles:
Distance (Miles) = Distance (Km) x 0.62 miles/Km
= 384,401 Km x 0.62 miles/Km
= 238,329 miles
This answer is rounded to zero decimal places. The conversion factor is rounded to two decimal places.
Check whether the comma in the numbers is required or not.
Do not forget your units, you will lose marks.
The Wikipedia article has a different distance in miles, presumably because it has been calculated using a more accurate conversion factor.

Convert what? If you have a number of km, multiply by 0.062 mi/km to get miles. If you have miles, divide by 0.062 mi/km to get km.

Nice. Half the people here think a mile is 16 kilometers. Really gives you hope for mankind.
