I've always understood it to be 1.6 kilometers equals a mile. And 2.2 pounds equals a kilogram.

Strange the the americans are coming up with this 1.60 number... not suggesting it's wrong but In England, 1 mile is equal to 1.62 kilometres. Unless you are talking about nautical miles. 1 nautical mile is equal to 1.15 statute miles. I will let you convert this to kilometres

As others have written, numerically, about 1.609344 km. However, as to how many significant figuresyou should use, that would depend upon the number of significant figures you are given in your problem. My advice is to use the whole thing, but then round your final answer to the required number of significant figures. That way, you accomplish two things: You get an answer which is correct to the desired degree of accuracy, and you claim only that level of accuracy (more would be misrepresentation).

.Any of various units of distance, including the statute mile of 5,280 ft (1.61 km). It originated from the Roman mille passus, or “thousand paces,” which measured 5,000 Roman ft (4,840 English ft [1,475 km]). A nautical mile is the length on the Earth's surface of one minute of arc or, by international definition, 1,852 m (6,076.12 ft [1.1508 statute mi]); it remains in universal use in both marine and air transportation.

The equation (when you have lots of miles to convert) for miles to kilos are 1 * 1.6.

1 mile = 1.61 kilometres,, you did not ask for workings so left them out
any way it is one of the things that remembered from maths
like1 kilometre = 5 furlongs so 200 meters = 1 furlong
