Samantha's speedometer reads in kilometers per hour. If the legal speed limit is 55 mi/h how fast can she drive?
1 kilometer = 0.621 mph. Multiply 55 mph by 0.621 = 34.16 kph, so @ 35 kph.
I'm afraid that Ken got it backwards. Samantha can go about 88 km per hour.

To determine how fast Samantha can drive in kilometers per hour, we need to convert the speed limit from miles per hour to kilometers per hour.
1 mile is approximately equal to 1.609 kilometers. Therefore, to convert from miles to kilometers, we can use the conversion factor of 1.609 kilometers per mile.
Given that the legal speed limit is 55 miles per hour, we can multiply this value by the conversion factor to get the equivalent speed in kilometers per hour:
55 mi/h * 1.609 km/mi = 88.5 km/h
Therefore, Samantha can drive at a speed of 88.5 kilometers per hour or lower to stay within the legal speed limit.
