For 1 kilometer, the customary measure is 62/100 miles. The easiest way to think about this is to forget that the units are miles. Instead think of it as money. If I have $1 that means I have 100 out of 100 cents. So if I have 50 cents my fraction is 50/100; and the way we write this is 0.50... if I have 32 cents then my fraction is 32/100 and we write this as 0.32. So if you have 62 cents out of a 100, how would you write that in decimal form?
