Answer 1

To convert miles per hour to kilometers per hour, we can use the conversion factor of 0.62 miles = 1 kilometer.

Delta's speed is 17 miles per hour.

To find her speed in kilometers per hour, we multiply her speed in miles per hour by the conversion factor:

17 miles/hour * 0.62 kilometers/mile = 10.54 kilometers/hour.

Rounding to the nearest tenth, Delta's speed in kilometers per hour is approximately 10.5.

Therefore, the correct answer is 10.5.
