To convert Delta's speed from miles per hour to kilometers per hour, we need to multiply her speed by the conversion factor of 0.62:
17 miles per hour * 0.62 kilometers per mile ≈ 10.5 kilometers per hour.
Therefore, her speed in kilometers per hour is approximately 10.5 (rounded to the nearest tenth).
To find Delta's speed in kilometers per hour, we need to convert the miles per hour to kilometers per hour using the conversion factor of 0.62 miles per kilometer.
First, let's convert the average speed of Delta from miles per hour to kilometers per hour:
Speed in kilometers per hour = Speed in miles per hour / Conversion factor
Speed in kilometers per hour = 17 miles per hour / 0.62 miles per kilometer
Now we can calculate the answer:
Speed in kilometers per hour = 27.41935483870968 kilometers per hour
Rounding to the nearest tenth, Delta's speed in kilometers per hour is approximately 27.4 kilometers per hour. Therefore, the correct answer is 27.4.
To convert miles to kilometers, we can use the conversion factor of 0.62 miles per kilometer. So, to find Delta's speed in kilometers per hour, we need to multiply her speed in miles per hour by 0.62:
17 miles per hour * 0.62 = 10.54 kilometers per hour
Rounding to the nearest tenth, Delta's speed in kilometers per hour is approximately 10.5. Therefore, the correct option is:
10.5
