A bumblebee flies with a ground speed of 15.2 m/s. Calculate its speed in miles per hour.
What is your problem in doing this?
To calculate the speed of the bumblebee in miles per hour, we need to convert the speed from meters per second to miles per hour. Here's how you can do it:
Step 1: Convert meters to miles:
- 1 meter is approximately equal to 0.000621371 miles.
So, to convert from meters to miles, we divide the speed in meters per second by 0.000621371.
15.2 m/s ÷ 0.000621371 ≈ 24474.0957 miles/hour
Step 2: Round off the answer:
Since we're dealing with speed, it's appropriate to round off the answer to a reasonable number of decimal places. Let's round it to two decimal places.
Therefore, the bumblebee's speed is approximately 24474.10 miles per hour.
