Since 3 miles are equal to 4.83 kilometers, 1 mile is $$\frac{4.83}{3}$$ kilometers.

Therefore, 11.27 kilometers will be $$11.27*\frac{3}{4.83} = \frac{4.83*7}{3}*\frac{3}{4.83} = 7$$ miles(Option C)

P.S On the GMAT, the numbers are chosen mostly such that they cancel each other out.
Here 11.27 is x times over 4.83 => x = $$\frac{11.27}{4.83} = \frac{7}{3}$$

Simply set-up a proportion:

3/4.83 = x / 11.27

When dividing decimals multiply both terms by 100. We find 7.
