One kilometer is equal to 0.6214 miles. Writing this another way,

           1 km = 0.6214 mi

To solve the question, a ratio can be set up like this:

          1  km             200 km
      _________    =   _________
      0.6214 mi              x  mi

Cross multiply to solve for x:

              x = (200)(0.6214)
              x = 124.28 miles

200 kilometers = 124.28 miles
