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)
O 558
1,451.6
O 1,240
O899.38
To convert kilometers to miles, we need to multiply the number of kilometers by the conversion ratio of 0.62 miles per kilometer.
900 kilometers * 0.62 miles/kilometer = 558 miles
Therefore, the airplane's speed in miles per hour is 558 miles per hour.
The answer is O 558.
To convert kilometers per hour to miles per hour, we can use the conversion ratio of 1 kilometer equals about 0.62 miles.
Given that the airplane travels about 900 kilometers per hour, we can multiply this value by the conversion ratio to find the speed in miles per hour.
900 kilometers/hour * 0.62 miles/kilometer ≈ 558 miles/hour
Therefore, the airplane's speed in miles per hour is approximately 558. The correct answer is O 558.
To solve this problem, we need to convert the speed of the airplane from kilometers per hour to miles per hour using the conversion ratio provided.
The conversion ratio states that 1 kilometer is equal to about 0.62 miles.
So, to convert the speed from kilometers per hour to miles per hour, we need to multiply the speed in kilometers per hour by the conversion ratio.
Given that the airplane travels about 900 kilometers per hour, we can set up the following equation:
Speed in miles per hour = Speed in kilometers per hour * Conversion ratio
Speed in miles per hour = 900 km/h * 0.62 miles/km
Now we can calculate the answer:
Speed in miles per hour = 558 miles/hour
Therefore, the airplane's speed in miles per hour is approximately 558 miles/hour.
So the correct answer is O 558.
