To convert kilometers per hour to miles per hour, you need to multiply the given speed in kilometers per hour by the conversion factor, which is the number of kilometers in one mile. In this case, the conversion factor is 1 mile per 1.6 kilometers.
So, to find the speed in miles per hour, you would take the given speed of 80 kilometers per hour and divide it by 1.6. This calculation gives you:
80 km/h ÷ 1.6 = 50 miles per hour
Therefore, the correct answer is 50 miles per hour.
To convert 80 kilometers per hour to miles per hour, we can use the conversion factor of 1.6 kilometers in 1 mile.
Thus, we can multiply 80 kilometers per hour by the conversion factor:
80 km/h * 1 mile / 1.6 km = 50 miles per hour.
Therefore, the speed limit of 80 km per hour in Europe is approximately 50 miles per hour.
