To solve this problem, we can use the conversion ratio 1 kilometer equals about 0.62 miles.
First, we need to find the airplane's speed in miles per hour. To do this, we can multiply the given speed of 900 kilometers per hour by the conversion factor of 0.62 miles per kilometer.
900 kilometers per hour * 0.62 miles per kilometer = 558 miles per hour
Therefore, the airplane's speed is 558 miles per hour.
