The problem states that there are about 1.61 kilometers in 1 mile. Let \( x \) represent a distance measured in kilometers, and \( y \) represent the same distance measured in miles.

We need to write two equations relating \( x \) and \( y \):

1. **From miles to kilometers**: Since 1 mile is approximately 1.61 kilometers, we can express \( x \) (kilometers) in terms of \( y \) (miles):
   \[
   x = 1.61y
   \]

There are about 1.61 kilometers in 1 mile. Use x to represent a distance measured in kilometers and y to represent the same distance measured in miles. Write two equations that relate a distance measured in kilometers and the same distance measured in miles.

Learn how to convert between miles and kilometers using the linear equation x = 1.61y, where x is in kilometers and y is in miles. This problem teaches basic unit conversion, involving direct and inverse proportions, and is suitable for Grades 7-8.
