Delta drives at an average speed of 17 miles per hour through traffic. What is her speed in kilometers per hour if 1 kilometer is approximately equal to 0.62 miles? Round to the nearest tenth of a kilometer.
Options:
10.5
27.4
17.6
2.7
To convert miles per hour to kilometers per hour, we need to use the conversion factor of 0.62 miles per kilometer.
So, Delta's speed in kilometers per hour can be calculated as:
17 miles per hour * 0.62 kilometers per mile
Therefore, her speed in kilometers per hour is approximately 10.5 kilometers per hour.
Rounded to the nearest tenth of a kilometer, the answer is 10.5.
Hence, the correct option is 10.5.
