To convert Angie's speed from miles per hour to kilometers per hour, we can use the conversion factor given that 1 km is approximately 0.62 miles.
First, we need to find out how many kilometers are in 1 mile:
\[
1 \text{ mile} \approx \frac{1}{0.62} \text{ km} \approx 1.613 \text{ km}
\]
Now, we can convert Angie's speed of 17 mph to kilometers per hour:
\[
17 \text{ mph} \times 1.613 \text{ km/mile} \approx 27.472 \text{ km/h}
\]
Now we round this to the nearest tenth:
\[
27.472 \text{ km/h} \approx 27.5 \text{ km/h}
\]
Therefore, Angie's speed in kilometers per hour is approximately **27.5 km/h**.
