Question

A car is traveling at a speed of 60 miles per hour. What is the cars speed in kilometers per hour? How many kilometers will the car travel in 2 hours? In your computations, assume that 1 mile is equal to 1.6 kilometers. Do not round your answer.

Answer 1

Given:

Speed of car = 60 miles per hour

Where:

1 mile = 1.6 kilometers.

Let's find the following:

• (a). The car's speed in kilometers per hour.

Here, we are given:

1 mile = 1.6 kilometers

60 miles = 60 x 1.6 = 96 kilometers

Therefore, the speed in kilometers per hour is:

96 kilometers per hour.

• (b). How many kilometers will the car travel in 2 hours?

To find the distance when time = 2 hours, apply the formula:

Distance = speed x time

Distance = 96 x 2 = 192 kilometers

Therefore, the car will travel 192 kilometers in 2 hours.

ANSWER:

Speed: 96 km/h

Distance traveled in 2
