a car travels at speed of 120 kilometers per hour what is the speed of the car in miles per hour use conversion ratio 1 kilometer equals about 0.62

1 answer

To convert the speed of the car from kilometers per hour (km/h) to miles per hour (mph), you can use the conversion factor you provided (1 kilometer ≈ 0.62 miles).

Given that the car travels at 120 kilometers per hour, the conversion to miles per hour can be calculated as follows:

\[ \text{Speed in mph} = \text{Speed in km/h} \times \text{Conversion factor} \]

\[ \text{Speed in mph} = 120 , \text{km/h} \times 0.62 , \text{miles/km} \]

\[ \text{Speed in mph} = 74.4 , \text{mph} \]

Therefore, the speed of the car is approximately 74.4 miles per hour.
