use the conversion ratio 1 kilometer equals about 0.62 miles to solve the following problem. an airplane travels about 900 kilometers per hour. what is the airplane’s speed in miles per hour?(1 point)

Answer 1

To convert 900 kilometers per hour to miles per hour using the conversion ratio (1 kilometer = 0.62 miles), you can multiply the speed in kilometers by the conversion factor:

\[ 900 \text{ kilometers/hour} \times 0.62 \text{ miles/kilometer} = 558 \text{ miles/hour} \]

So, the airplane’s speed is approximately 558 miles per hour.
