if your traveling 60 mph on a highway, how fast are you traveling in kilometers per hour?

Question

use k=1.61r, where r = rate in miles per hour and k=rate in kilometers per hour

Answer 1

If you're traveling 60 miles per hour, that is 96.6 kilometers per hour.

Just plug it in to your equation:

r = 60 mph

k = 1.61r
k = 1.61 (60)

k = 96.6 kph

This is just the ratio of kilometers to miles (1.61 km = 1 mile), so you just multiply 60 x 1.61 = 96.6

Answer 2

A kilometer is 5/8 of a mile so to answer your question..
60miles per hour times by 8 and divided by 5 = 96 km per hour.

Answer 3

This is simple,
Since k=1.61r, plug in the values

k = 1.61(60)
k = 96.6 KPH

Answer 4

1miles= 1.6 km
and u just plug it.
60*1.6 = 96km/h

that means you are traveling 96 km/h

Answer 5

I live in New Zealand which is Kilometres

60mph is just under 100km/h

Answer 6

k=1.61 r
k=1.61 (60)
k=96.6
