Question

A car is traveling at a rate of 90 kilometers per hour. What is the car's rate in miles per hour? How many miles will the car travel in 4 hours? In your computations, assume that 1 mile is equal to 1.6 kilometers. Do not round your answer.

Rate:
Distance in 4 hours:

Answer 1

14.065

Explanation:

First you wanna transfer it from kilometers to miles.

if 1 mile is = to 1.6 kilometers that is the same as saying

1/1.6, but because we are using 90 we plug it in and it becomes: 90/1.6 which gives you 56.25.

now we know we are going 56.25 miles per hour and because we are traveling 4 hours divide the miles per hour by 4 and you get 14.065.
