The road distance between San Francisco and New York is approximately 4677.4 km. This distance is stored in the variable distance_in_kilometers. Here's what you need to do:

  1. Convert the distance from kilometers (distance_in_kilometers) to miles by dividing it by 1.609. Store the result in the variable distance_in_miles.
  2. Display the value of distance_in_miles.
  3. Convert distance_in_miles to an integer data type and display its value.
