2)   Imagine that you are driving your car in Canada. As you are driving along, you notice that the speed limit signs have numbers like 120 (on the highway) and 50 (in the city). As you start to speed up, you realize that the signs are in km/hour. Unfortunately, your speedometer only reads in mi/hour. Figure out how fast you are allowed to go if the sign says 120 km/hr.
