To convert miles per hour to kilometers per hour, we can use the conversion factor: 1 kilometer is approximately equal to 0.62 miles.
Delta's speed in kilometers per hour can be calculated by multiplying her speed in miles per hour by the conversion factor:
17 miles/hour * 0.62 kilometers/mile = 10.54 kilometers/hour.
Rounded to the nearest tenth, Delta's speed in kilometers per hour is 10.5 kilometers/hour. Therefore, the correct answer is:
10.5
To find Delta's speed in kilometers per hour, we need to convert her speed from miles per hour to kilometers per hour using the conversion factor of 0.62 miles per kilometer.
First, we can calculate Delta's speed in kilometers per hour by multiplying her speed in miles per hour (17) by the conversion factor (0.62):
17 miles/hour * 0.62 miles/kilometer = 10.54 kilometers/hour
Rounding to the nearest tenth of a kilometer, Delta's speed in kilometers per hour is 10.5.
To convert miles per hour to kilometers per hour, we need to multiply the speed in miles per hour by the conversion factor of 0.62.
17 miles per hour * 0.62 kilometers per mile = 10.54 kilometers per hour
Rounded to the nearest tenth of a kilometer, Delta's speed is 10.5 kilometers per hour. Therefore, the correct answer is 10.5.
