Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]Speed = 159.4\ km/hr[/tex]

[tex]Speed = 2.6\ km/m[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The question has missing details; However, the given parameters are

[tex]Speed = 99\ miles/hour[/tex]

Required

Determine the speed in

- kilometre per hour

- kilometre per minute

From the question; we have that

[tex]1\ mile = 1.61\ kilometers[/tex]

[tex]1\ hour = 60\ minutes[/tex]

[tex]Speed = 99\ miles/hour[/tex] can be rewritten as

[tex]Speed = \frac{99\ miles}{hour}[/tex]

It can be further expressed as

[tex]Speed = \frac{99\ *\ 1\ mile}{hour}[/tex]

Recall that [tex]1\ mile = 1.61\ kilometers[/tex]'

So;

[tex]Speed = \frac{99\ *\ 1.61\ kilometre}{hour}[/tex]

[tex]Speed = \frac{159.39\ kilometres}{hour}[/tex]

[tex]Speed = 159.39\ kilometres/hour[/tex]

[tex]Speed = 159.4\ km/hr[/tex] -- Approximated

Solving further to get kilometre per minute equivalent

[tex]Speed = \frac{159.39\ kilometres}{hour}[/tex]

This can be rewritten as

[tex]Speed = \frac{159.39\ kilometres}{1\ hour}[/tex]

Recall that [tex]1\ hour = 60\ minutes[/tex]; So,

[tex]Speed = \frac{159.39\ kilometres}{60\ minutes}[/tex]

[tex]Speed = \frac{2.5565\ kilometres}{minute}[/tex]

[tex]Speed = 2.5565\ kilometres/minute[/tex]

[tex]Speed = 2.6\ km/m[/tex] --- Approximated

Answer:

Speed of the car is equivalent to 159.39 KM/hour or 2.6565 Km/min.

-Step by Step-:

-The speed of the car is given as  99 mi/hour.

Now, WE know that 1 Mile = 1.61 KM

Hence, in order to calculate the speed of the car in KM/hour we will multiply the speed of the car in miles with 1.61.

⇒The speed of the car in KM/hour = 99 × 1.61 KM = 159.39 KM/hour

Also, 1 hour = 60 minutes

⇒ Speed of the car in KM/min = (159.39) ÷ 60 = 2.6565 K/min
