Question

Delta drives at an average speed of 17 miles per hour through traffic. What is her speed in kilometers per hour if 1 kilometer is approximately equal to 0.62 miles? Round to the nearest tenth of a kilometer

Answer 1

To convert the speed from miles per hour to kilometers per hour, we need to divide the speed in miles per hour by the conversion factor 0.62 miles/kilometer.

So, Delta's speed in kilometers per hour is (17 miles/hour) / (0.62 miles/kilometer) = 27.4 kilometers/hour.

Rounded to the nearest tenth of a kilometer, Delta's speed is approximately 27.4 kilometers/hour. Answer: \boxed{27.4}.
