To convert the speed from kilometers per hour to miles per hour, we can use the conversion ratio of 1 kilometer equals about 0.62 miles.
The airplane travels about 900 kilometers per hour.
To find the speed in miles per hour, we can multiply 900 kilometers by 0.62 miles:
900 kilometers * 0.62 miles/kilometer = 558 miles
Therefore, the airplane's speed is 558 miles per hour.
