Convert the speed from kilometers per hour to miles per hour.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We know that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The car&#8217;s speed is <strong>80 kilometers per hour<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The conversion factor between kilometers and miles is <strong>1 mile = 1.6 kilometers<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To convert the speed to miles per hour, we can use the following formula: Speed&nbsp;in&nbsp;mph=Speed&nbsp;in&nbsp;km\/hConversion&nbsp;factor\\text{Speed in mph} = \\frac{\\text{Speed in km\/h}}{\\text{Conversion factor}}<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Substitute the given values: Speed&nbsp;in&nbsp;mph=80\u2009km\/h1.6\\text{Speed in mph} = \\frac{80 \\, \\text{km\/h}}{1.6}<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, calculate: Speed&nbsp;in&nbsp;mph=50\u2009miles&nbsp;per&nbsp;hour\\text{Speed in mph} = 50 \\, \\text{miles per hour}<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, the car&#8217;s speed is <strong>50 miles per hour<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Determine the distance the car will travel in 5 hours.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, we need to calculate the distance the car will travel in 5 hours at the speed of 50 miles per hour. The formula for distance is: Distance=Speed\u00d7Time\\text{Distance} = \\text{Speed} \\times \\text{Time}<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Substitute the values: Distance=50\u2009miles&nbsp;per&nbsp;hour\u00d75\u2009hours\\text{Distance} = 50 \\, \\text{miles per hour} \\times 5 \\, \\text{hours}<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, calculate: Distance=250\u2009miles\\text{Distance} = 250 \\, \\text{miles}<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Answers:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The car&#8217;s speed is <strong>50 miles per hour<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The car will travel <strong>250 miles<\/strong> in 5 hours.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Explanation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The first part of the problem involves converting the given speed from kilometers per hour (km\/h) to miles per hour (mph). Since the conversion factor between kilometers and miles is given as 1 mile = 1.6 kilometers, we divide the speed in km\/h by 1.6 to convert it to mph. The result is 50 mph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the second part, to find the distance the car travels in 5 hours, we use the basic formula for distance, which is speed multiplied by time. By multiplying the speed of 50 mph by the time of 5 hours, we find that the car will travel 250 miles in that period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This demonstrates how unit conversions and basic formulas can be used to solve real-world motion problems effectively.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A car is traveling at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour.
