Use the conversationratio 1 kilometers equals about 0.62 miles to solve the following problem an airplane travels about 900 kilometers per hour what is the airplane speed in miles per hour

Answer 1

To find the airplane speed in miles per hour, we need to multiply the given speed (in kilometers per hour) by the conversion ratio:

Airplane speed in miles per hour = 900 kilometers per hour * 0.62 miles per kilometer

Calculating this, we get:

Airplane speed in miles per hour = 558 miles per hour

Therefore, the airplane speed is approximately 558 miles per hour.
