Question

A court reporter is transcribing a report from Canada. The report states that the suspect was driving his vehicle at a rate of 100 kilometers per hour. How many miles (mi.) per hour is this? Round your answer to the nearest mile per hour

Answer 1

I got an answer of 62 miles per hour when rounded to the nearest ones

Answer 2

Answer: 62 miles per hour

Explanation:

We know that One mile = 1.60934 kilometers

`\Rightarrow\ \text{One kilometer}=(1)/(1.60934)=0.62137273665\approx0.6214\text{ mile}`

Given: The speed of suspect = 100 kilometers per hour

In miles per hour, the speed of suspect will be :

`0.6214*100=62.14\approx62\text{ miles per hour}`

Hence, the speed of suspect = 62 miles per hour
