Question

A car is traveling at a rate of 120 kilometers per hour. what is the car's rate 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.

Answer 1

speed = 120 km per hour
1 mile = 1.6 km
speed = 120 km per hr
divide 120 with 1.6 to get in miles=120/1.6
= 75 miles per hour
speed = 75 miles per hour
So, in 1 hr, it can travel 75 miles
the distance traveled by car in 5 hours = 75*5=375 miles 
Result : Speed = 75 miles per hour , distance = 375 miles
