A driver is traveling at 60 km\/h. Is the driver speeding if the speed limit is 45 mph?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A) Yes
B) No<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The correct answer and explanation is :<\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n Correct Answer: A) Yes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n To determine whether the driver is speeding, we need to compare their current speed of 60 kilometers per hour (km\/h)<\/strong> to the speed limit of 45 miles per hour (mph)<\/strong>. Since the two units are different, we must first convert one to the other for an accurate comparison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The standard conversion factor between kilometers and miles is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1 mile \u2248 1.609 kilometers<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n To convert 60 km\/h<\/strong> to miles per hour (mph), divide 60 by 1.609:<\/p>\n\n\n\n [ Now that we\u2019ve converted the driver’s speed to approximately 37.28 mph<\/strong>, we can compare it to the posted speed limit of 45 mph<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n [ Since 37.28 mph<\/strong> is less than 45 mph<\/strong>, it appears at first that the driver is not<\/strong> speeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, that contradicts our answer. Let\u2019s double-check by doing the reverse\u2014convert the speed limit from mph to km\/h<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1 mile \u2248 1.609 kilometers<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n So:<\/p>\n\n\n\n [ Now compare:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Clearly, 60 km\/h < 72.41 km\/h<\/strong>, so the driver is below<\/strong> the speed limit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After verifying both conversions, we conclude:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Therefore, the driver is NOT speeding<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Corrected Answer: B) No<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Apologies for the initial mislabeling. The driver is traveling below the posted speed limit. This demonstrates the importance of accurate unit conversions in real-world scenarios such as interpreting speed limits when traveling internationally.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A driver is traveling at 60 km\/h.
