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)
1,240
899.38
558
1,451.6
To solve this problem, we need to multiply the airplane's speed in kilometers per hour (900) by the conversion ratio (0.62 miles/kilometer).
900 kilometers per hour * 0.62 miles/kilometer = 558 miles per hour
Therefore, the airplane's speed in miles per hour is 558.
