To convert kilometers to miles, we can use the conversion ratio 1 kilometer equals about 0.62 miles.
First, we need to find the number of miles the airplane travels per hour. We can do this by multiplying the number of kilometers per hour by the conversion ratio:
900 kilometers/hour * 0.62 miles/kilometer = 558 miles/hour
Therefore, the airplane's speed in miles per hour is 558.
