Given the statement:

Jonah's house and his grandparent's house are 8,046.72 meters apart.

Determine the distance in miles.

Solution:

1 mile = 1609 meters

in order to determine the distance in miles, we simply need to divide 8046.72 by 1609, or compute by using the standard metric conversion method,

= (8,046.72 m)(1 mi /1609 m)

= 5 miles

Final answer:

The distance between Jonah's house and his grandparents is approximately 5 miles.
