The top speed of a coyote is 43 miles per hour. What is the approximate speed in kilometers per minute?

The coyote's top speed in km/min is ##"1.2 km/min"##.

##"1 mi=1.609 km"## ##"1 h=60 min"##

Multiply the speed in mi/h times the conversion factors from the equalities, such that mi and h are cancelled.

##(43cancel"mi")/(1cancel"h")xx(1.609"km")/(1cancel"mi")xx(1 cancel"h")/(60"min")="1.2 km/min"## (rounded to two significant figures)
