Solution

The task is asking you to write a Python program that converts miles to kilometers and kilometers to miles. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

  1. Define the conversion factor between miles and kilometers. In this case, 1 mile is approximately equal to 1.61 kilometers. So, you can write this in your Python program as:
conversion_factor = 1.61
  1. To convert miles to kilometers, you need to multiply the number of miles by the conversion factor. You can write a function to do this:
def miles_to_kilometers(miles):
    return miles * conversion_factor
  1. Similarly, to convert kilometers to miles, you need to divide the number of kilometers by the conversion factor. You can write another function to do this:
def kilometers_to_miles(kilometers):
    return kilometers / conversion_factor
  1. Now you can use these functions to convert any number of miles or kilometers. For example, to convert 5 miles to kilometers, you can write:
print("5 miles is", miles_to_kilometers(5), "kilometers")
  1. Similarly, to convert 10 kilometers to miles, you can write:
print("10 kilometers is", kilometers_to_miles(10), "miles")

Remember to replace the values 5 and 10 with the actual number of miles or kilometers you want to convert.
