To convert the speed from miles per hour to kilometers per hour, we need to use the conversion factor given: [tex]\(1 \text{ mile} = 1.61 \text{ kilometers}\)[/tex].
First, we convert the speed from miles per hour to kilometers per hour:
[tex]\[ 99 \frac{\text{miles}}{\text{hour}} \times 1.61 \frac{\text{kilometers}}{\text{mile}} = 159.39 \frac{\text{kilometers}}{\text{hour}} \][/tex]
Next, to convert this speed from kilometers per hour to kilometers per minute, we use the conversion factor [tex]\(1 \text{ hour} = 60 \text{ minutes}\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ 159.39 \frac{\text{kilometers}}{\text{hour}} \div 60 \frac{\text{minutes}}{\text{hour}} = 2.6565 \frac{\text{kilometers}}{\text{minute}} \][/tex]
Therefore, the speed is equivalent to [tex]\( 159.39 \frac{\text { kilometers }}{\text { hour }} \)[/tex], or [tex]\( 2.6565 \frac{\text { kilometers }}{\text { minute }} \)[/tex].
Thus:
The speed is equivalent to [tex]\( 159.39 \)[/tex] [tex]\( \frac{\text { kilometers }}{\text { hour }} \)[/tex], or [tex]\( 2.6565 \)[/tex] [tex]\( \frac{\text { kilometers }}{\text { minute }} \)[/tex].
