Question

the fastest ball game in the world may well be Jai-Alai. In it, players use to scoop attached to their hand to throw a small hard ball as fast as 188 mph at an granite wall. To the nearest tenth of a kilometer, about how fast is that speed in km/h

Answer 1

302.557 Kilometers per hour

Answer 2

Explanation:

Speed with which the players throw a small hard ball is 188 miles per hour. We need to convert the speed of the ball in kilometers per hour.

Firstly we can see the conversion from mile per hour to kilometer per hour as :

1 miles = 1609.34 meters

Also, 1 mile per hour = 1.60934 kilometer per hour

To convert 188 mph to km/h we can use the unitary method as :

188 mile per hour = 1.60934 × 188 kilometer per hour

188 mile per hour = 302.557 kilometer per hour

So, the speed of the ball is 188 miles per hour or 302.557 kilometer per hour. Hence, this is the required solution.
