A traveler from Europe wants to convert the distance 700 miles to
kilometers. If 1 mile equals
1.61 kilometers, what is the distance
between the two cities in kilometers?

1,127 km.

Disclaimer: There are a plethora of ways to solve this problem, but I decided to utilize proportions to solve it, as I believe that it is the easiest method to solve these types of questions.

1. Set up your proportion

2. Set up a basic algebraic equation: 1x=700

In other words, what times 1 is 700?

Multiply 1*700, which is 700, and do the same for the bottom.

1.61*700= 1,127

3. The final answer is 1,127 kilometers. Please refer to the pictures attached for a more visual and thorough explanation. Cross mutiplying could also be used. Simply cross multiply in your proportion to get your answer.

answer: the resulting cross section is a rectangle. solution: a plane parallel to the base of a triangular prism will intersect a cross section that is the same shape as its bases. so the cross section is a triangle.
