get_input() gets all its input from the keyboard. It doesn't need any
arguments.

convert_kilo() calculates miles on its own, so you don't need to pass it
as an argument.

When calling get_input, you need to save the return value in a variable,
and then pass that variable as an argument to convert_kilo.
The updated code would look like this:
def main():
kilo = get_input()
convert_kilo(kilo)
def get_input():
kilo = float(input('Enter Kilometers: '))
return kilo
def convert_kilo(kilo):
miles = float(kilo * 0.6214)
print( kilo,' kilometers converts to ',miles,' miles')
main()
