Answer 1

To solve this problem, we can use the given conversion ratio to convert kilometers per hour to miles per hour.

The conversion ratio is 1 kilometer equals about 0.62 miles.

Therefore, to find the airplane's speed in miles per hour, we can multiply the given speed of 900 kilometers per hour by the conversion ratio:

900 kilometers per hour * 0.62 miles per kilometer = 558 miles per hour

So, the airplane's speed in miles per hour is 558.
