You can put this solution on YOUR website!
speed = 120 km per hour
1 mile = 1.6 km
speed = 120 km per hr
divide 120 with 1.6 to get in miles
=120/1.6
= 75 miles per hour
speed = 75 miles per hour
so , in 1 hr , it can travels 75 miles
the distance traveled by car in 5 hours = 75*5
=375 miles
Result : Speed = 75 miles per hour , distance = 375 miles
