Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To convert km to miles, we need to first convert km to feet and then convert feet to miles.

15 km = 15,000 meters
1 meter = 3.28084 feet (by unit conversion)
15,000 meters = 15,000 x 3.28084 feet = 49,212 feet

1 mile = 5,280 feet (given)
49,212 feet = 49,212 / 5,280 miles = 9.3 miles (approx.)

Therefore, the answer is B) 9.3 mile.
