    Explanation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    To accurately determine whether each statement is true or false, we must first understand the relationship between miles and kilometers. These are both units of length, with one mile being a longer distance than one kilometer. The key to solving these problems is using the correct conversion factor. For general approximation, the most common conversion used is that 1 mile is approximately equal to 1.6 kilometers<\/strong>. This simple factor is the basis for evaluating all the statements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Let’s analyze each statement using this conversion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. 4 miles is approximately 6.4 kilometers.<\/strong>
    To check this statement, we convert the value in miles to kilometers. We do this by multiplying the number of miles by the conversion factor of 1.6.
    Calculation: 4 miles \u00d7 1.6 km\/mile = 6.4 km.
    The result of our calculation, 6.4 kilometers, exactly matches the value in the statement. Therefore, this statement is True<\/strong>. The selection of “False” in the image is incorrect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    2. 12.8 kilometers is approximately 8 miles.<\/strong>
    For this statement, we need to convert from kilometers to miles. To do this, we perform the opposite operation: we divide the number of kilometers by the conversion factor of 1.6.
    Calculation: 12.8 km \u00f7 1.6 km\/mile = 8 miles.
    The calculation shows that 12.8 kilometers is indeed equal to 8 miles based on our approximation. Thus, this statement is True<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    3. 0.5 miles is approximately 0.8 kilometers.<\/strong>
    Similar to the first statement, we are converting from miles to kilometers. We multiply the mile value by 1.6.
    Calculation: 0.5 miles \u00d7 1.6 km\/mile = 0.8 km.
    The result of 0.8 kilometers perfectly matches the number given in the statement. Consequently, this statement is True<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    4. 10 kilometers is approximately 16 miles.<\/strong>
    Here, we are converting kilometers to miles again, so we must divide by 1.6.
    Calculation: 10 km \u00f7 1.6 km\/mile = 6.25 miles.
    The result, 6.25 miles, is not close to 16 miles. The statement seems to have reversed the conversion, confusing 10 miles (which would be 16 kilometers) with 10 kilometers. Because 10 kilometers is only 6.25 miles, this statement is definitively False<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
