A speed limit in Europe is 80 km per hour. What is the speed in miles per hour? There are about 1.6 kilometers in 1 mile.
A: 128 miles per hour
B: 50 miles per hour
C: 80 miles per hour
D: 75 miles per hour
To convert km/h to mph, we need to divide the speed in km/h by the conversion factor of 1.6.
Thus, 80 km/h divided by 1.6 equals 50 mph.
Therefore, the speed limit of 80 km/h in Europe is equal to 50 mph.
The correct answer is B: 50 miles per hour.
To convert kilometers per hour to miles per hour, you need to divide the speed in kilometers per hour by the conversion factor, which is 1.6 kilometers per mile.
Therefore, to convert 80 km per hour to miles per hour:
80 km/h ÷ 1.6 km/mile = 50 miles per hour.
So, the correct answer is B: 50 miles per hour.
To convert kilometers per hour to miles per hour, you can multiply the value by a conversion factor of 0.6214.
Therefore, to find the speed limit in miles per hour, you would multiply 80 km/h by 0.6214.
80 km/h * 0.6214 ≈ 49.7 mph
So, the speed limit of 80 km/h is approximately 49.7 miles per hour.
Out of the given options, the closest answer is B: 50 miles per hour.
