Work Step by Step

1 mile = 1.609 km = 1.61 km (rounded off) So, 1 mi/hr = 1.61 km/hr Therefore, the equivalent scale readings for the empty boxes are :- 0 mi/hr = 0 km/hr, 10 mi/hr=16 km/hr (rounded off), 20 mi/hr=32 km/hr (rounded off), 30 mi/hr=48 km/hr (rounded off), 40 mi/hr=64 km/hr (rounded off), 50 mi/hr=81 km/hr (rounded off), 60 mi/hr=97 km/hr (rounded off), 70 mi/hr=113 km/hr (rounded off), 80 mi/hr=129 km/hr (rounded off), 90 mi/hr=145 km/hr (rounded off), 100 mi/hr=161 km/hr (rounded off). Also, the speed limit of 70 mi/hr is equivalent to 113 km/hr.
