A boat has a top speed of 26 knots and a displacement of approximately 96000 tons. Express the top speed in miles per hour and the displacement in metric tonnes.

29.92 miles per hour

87,089.76 metric tonnes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the top speed is 26 knots, recall that

1 knot = 1.15078 miles per hour

Hence,

26 knots = 26 * 1.15078

= 29.92028 miles per hour

To 2 decimal places

=29.92 miles per hour

Given that the boat has a  displacement of approximately 96000 tons, in metric tonnes...

Recall that

1 ton = 0.907185 metric tonnes

As such,

96000 tons = 0.907185 * 96000

= 87,089.76 metric tonnes
