A cruise ship is traveling at a speed of 20 knots . A knot is approximately equal to 1.151 miles per hour. What is the approximate speed the ship is traveling in yards per second ? Round to the nearest tenth.

Respuesta :

The cruise ship is traveling at >23< (answer) because 1.151 x 20 = 23.02 rounded to nearest tenth is 23

I hope this helped :)

Answer:

145854720 yards per second

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a cruise ship is travelling at  a speed  of 20 knots.

1  knot=1.151 miles per hour approximately

We have to find the approximate speed of ship in yards per second

20 knots=[tex]20\times 1.151=23.02[/tex] miles per hour

1 mile=1760 yards

1 hour=3600 seconds

[tex]20 knots={23.02\times 3600\times 1760[/tex]

[tex]20 knots=145854720 [/tex]yards per sec[/tex]

Hence, speed of ship travelling =145854720 yards per second
