The russian space station mir orbited around earth at a rate of 463 kilometers per minute. to the nearest whole mile, how many miles per hour was this

The answer would be computed by this:

1 kilometer is 0.621 miles.

so plugging in our data, 463 km = > 463 x 0.621 miles

In other words, 287.523 miles per minute

Therefore, 287.523 x 60 miles per hour

=> 17,251 m. p. h. would be the answer for this problem.
