Question

Alfonse and Melinda are taking a drive in a certain country. They know that a speed of 100 kilometers per hour is approximately equal to 62 miles per hour. They are now driving on a road that has a speed limit of 105 kilometers per hour. How many miles per hour is the speed​ limit?

Answer 1

Answer:

65.1 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question 100 Km/hour = 63 miles/hour

It means in one hour 100 Km is traveled which is also equal to 62 miles.

hence 100 Km = 62 miles

dividing both sides by 100 we have

100/100 Km = 62/100 miles

Hence we can say that

1 Km = 0.62 miles

_________________________________________________

Multiplying both side by 105  we have

1 Km * 105 = 0.62 miles * 105

105 Km = 65.1 miles

Thus, 105 Km/hour is same as 65.1 miles per hour.

As 105 kilometres per hour is the speed limit in terms of yards/hour

speed limit will be  65.1 miles per hour.
