Question

A conversion table indicates that 1 mile is 1.6 km. With this conversion rate, is the speed limit greater than or less than 65 mph? Explain.

Answer 1

higher than

Explanation:

The speed limit is 110 km hour and there are 1.6 kilometers in a mile. This means that there are 110 ÷ 1.6 miles per hour:

110 km hour÷1.6 km mile=110÷1.6 miles hour.

We can find 110 ÷ 1.6 using long division and it is 68.75. So the speed limit is higher than 65 mph

Answer 2

greater because 1.6 is larger than 1
