 All our variables so far have had type `int` (integer), but there are limits
 to what you can do with just whole integers. For example, here's the formula
-a visitor to the US will require to convert a distance on a road sign to
-kilometers:
+a visitor to the US will require to convert distances mentioned on road signs
+from miles to kilometers:
 
 ```
 distance * 1.609
 ```
 
 Write a function to perform this conversion. Some starting points:

   with special attention to the `float` type.
-- read [the section on floating-point arithmetic](https://github.com/akkartik/mu/blob/main/mu.md#floating-point-arithmetic).
-- One wrinkle is that the x86 instruction set doesn't permit literal
-  fractional arguments. So you'll need to _create_ 1.609 somehow. Relevant is

 This task has four source files in the repo that reveal more and more of the
 answer. Start from the first, and bump down if you need a hint.
