    {
      "name": "How do I convert kilometers to miles?",
      "answer": "To convert kilometers to miles, divide the number of kilometers by 1.60934. This is because 1 mile equals approximately 1.60934 kilometers. For example, if you have 10 kilometers, dividing by 1.60934 gives approximately 6.21 miles. The formula is: miles = kilometers ÷ 1.60934, making the conversion simple and accurate."
    },
    {
      "name": "What is the formula for converting kilometers to miles?",
      "answer": "The formula for converting kilometers to miles is: miles = kilometers ÷ 1.60934. Since 1 mile equals approximately 1.60934 kilometers, dividing the length in kilometers by this factor converts the measurement to miles. This conversion is often used when traveling or calculating long distances."
    },
    {
      "name": "How many miles are there in a kilometer?",
      "answer": "There are approximately 0.621371 miles in a kilometer. This conversion factor helps translate distances from the metric system (kilometers) to the imperial system (miles), which is commonly used in the United States and the United Kingdom for road signs and travel distances."
    },
    {
      "name": "Why do we divide by 1.60934 to convert kilometers to miles?",
      "answer": "We divide by 1.60934 because this is the number of kilometers in 1 mile. The metric system uses kilometers, while the imperial system uses miles. By dividing the length in kilometers by 1.60934, we convert the measurement to miles, making it easier to understand distances in countries that use the imperial system."
    },
    {
      "name": "How can I convert miles back to kilometers?",
      "answer": "To convert miles back to kilometers, multiply the number of miles by 1.60934. This is because 1 mile equals approximately 1.60934 kilometers. For example, if you have 5 miles, multiplying by 1.60934 gives approximately 8.05 kilometers. The formula is: kilometers = miles × 1.60934, useful for international travel or distance calculations."
    },
    {
      "name": "What is the difference between kilometers and miles?",
      "answer": "Kilometers and miles are both units of length, but they belong to different measurement systems. A kilometer is part of the metric system, while a mile is part of the imperial system. One mile is longer than a kilometer, with 1 mile equaling approximately 1.60934 kilometers. Kilometers are widely used worldwide, while miles are commonly used in the US and UK."
