i dont understand this, do you?

Question

In Canada, a highway sign gives a speed limit as 80 . If you were going the maximum speed allowed in Canada, would you be exceeding the speed limit in the United States of 55 ?

yes or no....i want to say yes is that right?

first of all this is a chemistry question smart a s s...because its in a book called chemistry 101 introductory chemistry by timberlake

Answer 1

1 mile = 1.6 km
55 miles/hr = 1.6*55 km/hr = 88 km/hr

So 80 km/hr is slower than 55 miles/hr.

You would not be speeding.

Answer 2

Roughly 80 kph = 80 * .6 m/km = 48 mph.

So no you would not be exceeding the 55 mph in the US.

Answer 3

Although most Canadians understand Miles there signs are written in Kilometers per hour. 80kmp = 50mph

But really, how old is your textbook, we haven't had a 55mph speed limit since last century

Answer 4

That would be 80 kilometers. Look down at your speedometer and it will tell you in both mph and kilometers.

Answer 5

Yea, every country in the world but ours uses metrics. We have our own measurment system and they are different.

Answer 6

no, you would not be exceeding the speed limit in the US..it would be close 80kmh is about 52mph or 53mph at most.

Answer 7

Canada uses the Metric system, the US uses the English system!

Answer 8

they use kilometers instead of miles, so you have to convert 80km into miles or 55mi into kilometers to find out...

Answer 9

80 what? miles or km?

Answer 10

first of all isnt this supposed to be in another section not chemistry. second of all what are you smoking?
