An air plane travels about 900 kilometers per hour. What is the airplane’s speed in miles per hour?

Answer 1

To convert kilometers per hour to miles per hour, you can use the conversion factor where 1 kilometer is approximately equal to 0.621371 miles.

Given that the airplane travels at 900 kilometers per hour, you can use the following formula:

\[ \text{Speed in miles per hour} = \text{Speed in kilometers per hour} \times 0.621371 \]

Calculating it:

\[ \text{Speed in miles per hour} = 900 \times 0.621371 \approx 558.36 \]

Thus, the airplane's speed is approximately 558.36 miles per hour.
