A car is traveling at a rate of
60 miles per hour. What is the car's rate in kilometers per hour? How many kilometers will the car travel in 4 hours? In your computations, assume that 1 mile is equal to
1.6 kilometers. Do not round your answers.
Oh, the car just decided to go on a little road trip abroad, huh? Well, let's help it with some conversions!
To convert miles per hour to kilometers per hour, we can use the conversion factor of 1 mile = 1.6 kilometers. So if the car is traveling at 60 miles per hour, we simply multiply it by 1.6 to get the equivalent in kilometers per hour.
60 miles/hour * 1.6 kilometers/mile = 96 kilometers/hour
Voila! The car is cruising at a speed of 96 kilometers per hour.
Now, to find out how many kilometers the car will travel in 4 hours, we need to multiply its rate (96 kilometers/hour) by the time traveled (4 hours).
96 kilometers/hour * 4 hours = 384 kilometers
In 4 hours, that little car will journey approximately 384 kilometers! Enjoy the ride and don't forget to pack some snacks!
To find the car's rate in kilometers per hour, we need to convert miles to kilometers. We know that 1 mile is equal to 1.6 kilometers, so we can multiply the car's rate in miles per hour by 1.6 to get the rate in kilometers per hour.
Rate in kilometers per hour = Rate in miles per hour x 1.6
Thus, the car's rate in kilometers per hour is 60 x 1.6 = 96 kilometers per hour.
Now, to find the number of kilometers the car will travel in 4 hours, we can use the formula:
Distance = Rate x Time
Plugging in the values, we have:
Distance = 96 kilometers per hour x 4 hours
Simplifying, the car will travel 384 kilometers in 4 hours.
60 mi/h (1.6 km/1 mi) = 96 km/h
4 h( 96 km / h) = 384 km
