Highways in Canada have speed limits of $100 \mathrm{km} / \mathrm{h}$. How does this compare with the $65 \mathrm{mi} / \mathrm{h}$ speed limit common in the United States?
Added by Michaela G.
Step 1
Let's convert 100 km/h to mi/h. We know that 1 km is approximately equal to 0.621371 miles. So, 100 km/h = 100 * 0.621371 mi/h = 62.1371 mi/h. Show more…
