Use the conversion ratio 1 kilometer equals about 0.62 miles to solve the following problem. An airplane travels about 900 kilometers per hour. What is the airplane’s speed in miles per hour?(1 point)

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

The calculation is as follows:

\[ \text{Speed in miles per hour} = \text{Speed in kilometers per hour} \times 0.62 \]

Substituting the given speed:

\[ \text{Speed in miles per hour} = 900 , \text{km/h} \times 0.62 \] \[ \text{Speed in miles per hour} = 558 , \text{miles per hour} \]

Therefore, the airplane’s speed in miles per hour is 558.
