To convert miles per hour to kilometers per hour, we need to multiply the speed in miles per hour by the conversion factor of 0.62.
So, Delta's speed in kilometers per hour would be:
17 miles/hour * 0.62 kilometers/mile ≈ 10.5 kilometers/hour
Rounded to the nearest tenth of a kilometer, Delta's speed is approximately 10.5 kilometers per hour.
Therefore, the correct response is:
10.5
wrong
Apologies for the error. Let's correct it.
To convert miles per hour to kilometers per hour, we need to divide the speed in miles per hour by the conversion factor of 0.62.
So, Delta's speed in kilometers per hour would be:
17 miles/hour / 0.62 ≈ 27.4 kilometers/hour
Rounded to the nearest tenth of a kilometer, Delta's speed is approximately 27.4 kilometers per hour.
Therefore, the correct response is:
27.4
