Write a function that receives an input argument of a number of kilometers (km) and will output the conversions into both miles (mi) and US nautical miles (n.m.). Use the conversions: 1 km = 0.621 mi and 1 km = 0.540 n.m.

1) Create a function file called myconversion.m in your working directory. E.g.,
edit myconversion.m
2) Put the following code into this file:
function [x_mi,x_nm] = myconversion(x_km)
% Insert your code here to convert x_km to x_mi
% Insert your code here to convert x_km to x_nm
return
end
Insert your code for the conversions into the places indicated. Also add comments to this file to state the purpose of the function, show the calling syntax, and explain what the inputs and outputs are.
function [x_mi,x_nm] = myconversion(x_km)
% Insert your code here to convert x_km to x_mi
% Insert your code here to convert x_km to x_nm
return
end
function [x_mi,x_nm] = myconversion(x_km) % Insert your code here to convert x_km to x_mi % Insert your code here to convert x_km to x_nm return end
function [miles, nmiles] = convert(k)
km_to_miles = 0.621;
km_to_nmiles = 1/1.852;
miles = k * km_to_nmiles;
nmiles = k *km_to_miles;
end
This is what I did. I want to know if this is right.
