33,235 PointsMy solution for converting kg to lbs and km to miles
Hi. Have I got this right?
// kg to convert to lbs
$kg = 50;
// floating-point value for kg-lb conversion
$kg_to_lb = 0.453592;
// use the variables to calculate conversion
$lb = $kg_to_lb / $kg;
// display lb equivalent
echo "Weight: ";
echo " kg = ";
echo $lb;
echo " lb ";
// number of km to convert to miles
$km = 5;
// floating point value for km-mile conversion
$km_to_miles = 1.60934;
// use the variable above to convert km to miles
$miles = $km / $km_to_miles;
// display equivalent in miles
echo "Distance: ";
echo $km;
echo " km = ";
echo $miles;
echo " miles ";
Thanks in advance.
