Answer 1

Answer: 0.0905475920892 miles

Explanation:

Convert km to Miles using conversion

1km = 0.6213712 miles

86 x 0.6213712 = 53.4379232 miles/hour

divide that by 60 to get miles per minute. Divide again to get miles per second

53.4379232 / 60 / 60 = 0.0148438675556 miles/second

6.1 x 0.0148438675556 = 0.0905475920892 miles
