Solution Steps

Step 1: Convert Miles per Hour to Kilometers per Hour

To convert the speed from miles per hour to kilometers per hour, use the conversion factor 1 mile=1.609 km1 \text{ mile} = 1.609 \text{ km}. Multiply the speed in miles per hour by this conversion factor:

km per hour=17×1.609=27.353 km/h \text{km per hour} = 17 \times 1.609 = 27.353 \text{ km/h}

Step 2: Convert Kilometers per Hour to Kilometers per Minute

To convert the speed from kilometers per hour to kilometers per minute, divide the speed in kilometers per hour by the number of minutes in an hour, which is 60:

km per minute=27.35360=0.4559 km/min \text{km per minute} = \frac{27.353}{60} = 0.4559 \text{ km/min}

Final Answer

0.4559 km/min\boxed{0.4559 \text{ km/min}}
