Tip #6: Convert Kilometers to Miles

This is by no means going to be exact, but it will give you a rough idea of how many miles is in a given number of kilometers and vice versa.

To convert from kilometers to miles, simply divide the number of kilometers by 8 and then multiply by 5.

To convert from miles to kilometers, do the reverse: Divide by 5, then multiply by 8.

Here’s a couple of examples:

1. 80 kilometers = 80/8 * 5 miles = 10 * 5 miles = 50 miles
2. 80 miles = 80 /5 * 8 kilometers= 16 * 8 kilometers = 128 kilometers.
