What is the car's speed in miles per hour?

Let's make a conversion:

$\frac{70\operatorname{km}}{h}*\frac{1mi}{1.6\operatorname{km}}=(43.75mi)/(h)$

How many miles will the car travel in 5 hours?

1h---------------------->43.75mi

5h---------------------> x mi

$\begin{gathered} (1)/(5)=(43.75)/(x) \\ x=5*43.75 \\ x=218.75mi \end{gathered}$
