You can put this solution on YOUR website! Is a mile larger or a kilometer larger?
A meter is slightly larger than 3 feet so a kilometer is slightly larger than 3000 feet, but a mile is 5280 feet.
So, do you have to go faster to go 3000 feet in an hour or to go 5280 feet in an hour?
Right, 5280 or a mile in a (per) hour
You can put this solution on YOUR website! brian thinks the speed of the plane might be 160 miles per hour or 160 kilometers per hour. which is faster
-----------------------------
A kilometer is approximately 0.6 miles.
So 160 km/hr is approximately (.6)(160)km/hr = 96 mph
---------------------
160 mph is faster
