Answer 1

To convert kilometers to miles, we can use the given conversion ratio of 1 kilometer equals 0.62 miles.

So, to find the airplane's speed in miles per hour, we can multiply the given speed of 900 kilometers per hour by the conversion ratio:

900 kilometers/hour * 0.62 miles/kilometer = 558 miles/hour.

Therefore, the airplane's speed is approximately 558 miles per hour.
