To find the airplane's speed in miles per hour, we need to multiply the distance in kilometers (900) by the conversion ratio (0.62):
900 km * 0.62 miles/km = 558 miles per hour
Therefore, the correct answer is 558.
To solve this problem, we will use the given conversion ratio of 1 kilometer equals about 0.62 miles.
First, we need to determine how many miles the airplane travels in one hour. We can do this by multiplying the airplane's speed in kilometers per hour by the conversion ratio:
900 kilometers/hour x 0.62 miles/kilometer = 558 miles/hour.
Therefore, the airplane's speed is approximately 558 miles per hour.
To solve this problem, we can use the conversion ratio of 1 kilometer equals about 0.62 miles.
The airplane travels about 900 kilometers per hour.
To find the speed in miles per hour, we can multiply the speed in kilometers per hour by the conversion ratio:
900 kilometers/hour * 0.62 miles/kilometer = 558 miles/hour.
Therefore, the airplane's speed is 558 miles per hour.
