The top speed of a coyote is 43 miles per hour. What is the approximate speed in kilometers per minute?
February 20th, 2023
The coyote’s top speed in km/min is ##”1.2 km/min”##.
##”1 mi=1.609 km”##
##”1 h=60 min”##
Multiply the speed in mi/h times the conversion factors from the equalities, such that mi and h are cancelled.
##(43cancel”mi”)/(1cancel”h”)xx(1.609″km”)/(1cancel”mi”)xx(1 cancel”h”)/(60″min”)=”1.2 km/min”## (rounded to two significant figures)
