Question

Shannon test-drive a car in Germany and drives 59 kilometers per hour. What is her speed in miles per hour? (1km = .062 miles)

Answer 1

Her speed is = 36.58 mi/h

Explanation:

To convert 59 km/h into mi/h, we use that 1 km = 0.62 miles. Then, we can directly replace the unit "km" in the expression for the velocity, with 0.62 miles and operate the explicit product of 59 times 0.62:

59 km/h = 59 (0.62 mi)/h = 36.58 mi/h
