Use the conversion ratio 1 km equals about 0.62 Mi to solve the following problem an airplane travels about 900 km per hour what is the airplane speed in miles per hour a 899.38 b1,451.6 558 d1240

Answer 1

To convert the airplane's speed from kilometers per hour (km/h) to miles per hour (mph), you can use the conversion ratio:

1 km ≈ 0.62 miles.

Given that the airplane travels about 900 km/h, the calculation for miles per hour would be:

\[ 900 , \text{km/h} \times 0.62 , \text{miles/km} \]

Calculating this:

\[ 900 \times 0.62 = 558 , \text{mph} \]

Therefore, the airplane's speed in miles per hour is approximately 558 mph.

The correct answer is c) 558.
