Question

Matty jogs 9 km/hr. Identify the correct conversion factor setup required to compute Matty's speed in m/s.

Answer 1

=9 * 1000 / 3600
=9000 / 3600
=2.5m/s

I hope this helps you

Answer 2

2.5 m/s

Explanation:

we have given that Matty jogs 9 km/hr

we have to convert 9 km/hr to m/s

we know, 1 km= 1000 m

and 1 hr= 60 minutes and 1 minute= 60 seconds

which implies that 1 hr=60 x 60 = 3600 seconds

now, to convert km/hr into minute/second we have to multiply it by 1000/3600 or 5/18

i.e. 9×1000/3600= 5/2=2.5 m/s
