Anderson Leon · Answer 1

Divide the speed value by 1.609,

1kilometer per hr=0.621mph

80kph=49.7097Mph

Teresa · Answer 2

49.6 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the vehicle which met an accident in Germany was driven at 80 kilometers per hour by the driver.

To find out how many miles per hour was the driver traveling, we can use the ratio method.

1 kilometer = 0.62 mile

80 kilometers = x

Finding x:

x = 0.62 * 80

x = 49.6

So the driver was traveling at 49.6 miles per hour.
