I thought the same. As Australians in the US for a few months recently, I'd regularly ask my 6-7yo son to convert miles to kilometres as a test - say, 53 miles into km. Multiply by eight and divide by five (or divide by five first in cases where that was quicker). He found it straightforward enough.
