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 airplane’s speed in miles per hour?
To find the airplane's speed in miles per hour, we can use the conversion ratio of 1 kilometer equaling about 0.62 miles.
The airplane travels at a rate of 900 kilometers per hour.
To convert this to miles per hour, we multiply the distance in kilometers 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.
To convert the airplane's speed from kilometers per hour to miles per hour, we can use the conversion ratio 1 kilometer equals about 0.62 miles.
Step 1: Start with the airplane's speed in kilometers per hour, which is 900 km/h.
Step 2: Multiply the speed in kilometers per hour by the conversion ratio, 0.62 miles/kilometer.
900 km/h * 0.62 miles/kilometer = 558 miles/hour
Therefore, the airplane's speed is approximately 558 miles per hour.
To find the airplane's speed in miles per hour, we need to use the conversion ratio between kilometers and miles.
Given that 1 kilometer is approximately equal to 0.62 miles, we can use this ratio to convert the speed from kilometers per hour to miles per hour.
To do this, 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.
