Answer 1

To convert the speed from kilometers per hour to miles per hour, you can use the conversion ratio of 1 kilometer = 0.62 miles.

To find the speed in miles per hour, you can multiply the speed in kilometers per hour by the conversion factor:

\[
900 \text{ km/h} \times 0.62 \text{ miles/km} = 558 \text{ miles/h}
\]

So the speed of the airplane in miles per hour is **558 miles/h**.
