To convert miles per hour to kilometers per hour, we need to multiply the speed by the conversion factor. The conversion factor is 0.62 miles per 1 kilometer.
So, the speed in kilometers per hour is calculated by multiplying the speed in miles per hour by 0.62.
Speed in kilometers per hour = 17 miles/hour × 0.62 ≈ 10.54 kilometers/hour
Rounded to the nearest tenth of a kilometer, Delta's speed in kilometers per hour is approximately 10.5 kilometers per hour.
Therefore, the correct answer is 10.5.
To convert her speed from miles per hour to kilometers per hour, we need to multiply her speed in miles per hour by the conversion factor of 0.62 kilometers per mile.
17 miles/hour * 0.62 kilometers/mile = 10.54 kilometers/hour
Rounding to the nearest tenth, her speed in kilometers per hour is approximately 10.5 kilometers/hour. The correct answer is not provided in the given options.
To convert Delta's speed from miles per hour to kilometers per hour, we can use the conversion factor of 1 kilometer equal to approximately 0.62 miles. The formula to convert miles per hour to kilometers per hour is:
Speed (in km/h) = Speed (in mph) * Conversion factor
In this case, Delta's speed is given as 17 miles per hour. Let's plug in the values into the formula:
Speed (in km/h) = 17 miles/hour * 0.62 km/mile
Now, multiply the speed in miles per hour by the conversion factor:
Speed (in km/h) = 17 * 0.62 km/h
Speed (in km/h) ≈ 10.54 km/h
Rounding to the nearest tenth of a kilometer, Delta's speed in kilometers per hour is approximately 10.5 km/h.
Therefore, the correct answer is "105."
