Delta drives at a average speed of 17 miles per hour through traffic. What is her speed in kilometers per hour if 1 kilometer is approximately equal to 6.2 miles? Round to the nearest tenth of a kilometer.
To convert miles per hour to kilometers per hour, we need to multiply the speed in miles per hour by the conversion factor of 1 kilometer is approximately equal to 6.2 miles.
Delta's speed in kilometers per hour = 17 miles/hour * (1 kilometer/6.2 miles) = 2.7419 kilometers/hour
Rounded to the nearest tenth of a kilometer, Delta's speed is 2.7 kilometers per hour. Answer: \boxed{2.7}.
To convert Delta's average speed from miles per hour to kilometers per hour, we need to use the given conversion factor: 1 kilometer is approximately equal to 6.2 miles.
First, let's calculate Delta's speed in kilometers per hour.
Delta's speed in miles per hour is 17.
To convert this to kilometers per hour, we can multiply 17 by the conversion factor:
17 miles/hour * (1 kilometer / 6.2 miles) = 2.74 kilometers/hour.
Rounding to the nearest tenth of a kilometer gives us a final answer of approximately 2.7 kilometers per hour.
To find Delta's speed in kilometers per hour, we need to convert 17 miles per hour to kilometers per hour using the conversion factor that 1 kilometer is approximately equal to 6.2 miles.
To convert miles to kilometers, we can divide the number of miles by the conversion factor.
17 miles / 6.2 miles/kilometer = 2.741935 kilometers
Now, we need to convert from hours to minutes since the given speed is in miles per hour.
To convert hours to minutes, we multiply the number of hours by 60.
2.741935 hours * 60 minutes/hour = 164.51613 minutes
Finally, to find Delta's speed in kilometers per hour, we divide the distance in kilometers by the time in hours.
2.741935 kilometers / 2.741935 hours = 1 kilometer/hour
Thus, Delta's speed in kilometers per hour is approximately 1 kilometer per hour, rounded to the nearest tenth of a kilometer.
