A car is traveling at a speed of 70 kilometers per hour. What is the car's speed in miles per hour? How many miles will the car travel in 5 hours? In your computations, assume that 1 mile is equal to 1.6 kilometers. Do not round your answers.

Respuesta :

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

Let's make a conversion:

[tex]\frac{70\operatorname{km}}{h}\times\frac{1mi}{1.6\operatorname{km}}=\frac{43.75mi}{h}[/tex]

How many miles will the car travel in 5 hours?

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

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

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{5}=\frac{43.75}{x} \\ x=5\times43.75 \\ x=218.75mi \end{gathered}[/tex]
