Use the conversion ratio 1 kilometer equals about 0.62 miles to solve the following problem an airplane travels about 900 kilometers per hour what is the airplanes speed in miles per house
To convert kilometers per hour to miles per hour, we can use the conversion ratio mentioned: 1 kilometer is approximately equal to 0.62 miles.
So, to find the airplane's speed in miles per hour, we can multiply the given speed of 900 kilometers per hour by the conversion ratio:
900 kilometers/hour * 0.62 miles/kilometer = 558 miles/hour.
Therefore, the airplane's speed is approximately 558 miles per hour.
