Since 1 kilometer = 0.62 miles (which is approximate), we can use this ratio to find out how many miles are in 475 km


Simply take 475 km and multiply it by 0.62miles%2F1km. Remember to cancel out the "km" units. 

475 km    0.62 miles     475*0.62 miles     294.5 miles
------- * ----------  =  -------------- =  ---------- 
   1          1 km         1*1                   1



So there are approximately 294.5 miles in 475 km
