To convert from kilometers per hour to miles per hour, we can multiply the given speed in kilometers per hour by the conversion ratio of 0.62 miles per kilometer.
Therefore, the airplane's speed in miles per hour would be:
900 kilometers per hour * 0.62 miles per kilometer = 558 miles per hour
So, the correct answer is 558.
