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? (1 point)
To convert kilometers to miles, we can use the given conversion ratio of 1 kilometer equals 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.
To solve this problem, we can use the conversion ratio given: 1 kilometer equals about 0.62 miles.
The airplane's speed is given as 900 kilometers per hour.
To find the speed in miles per hour, we can multiply the given speed by the conversion ratio:
900 kilometers per hour * 0.62 miles per kilometer = 558 miles per hour.
Therefore, the airplane's speed is about 558 miles per hour.
To solve this problem, we need to convert the speed from kilometers per hour to miles per hour using the conversion ratio given.
The conversion ratio tells us that 1 kilometer is about 0.62 miles. Therefore, if we want to convert kilometers per hour to miles per hour, we can multiply the speed in kilometers per hour by 0.62.
Given that the airplane travels about 900 kilometers per hour, we can calculate its speed in miles per hour by multiplying 900 by 0.62.
Speed in miles per hour = 900 km/h * 0.62 miles/km
Calculating this expression, we find:
Speed in miles per hour ≈ 558 miles/hour
So, the airplane's speed is about 558 miles per hour.
