Answer 5

So basically there are 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in an hr
So there are 3600 seconds in an hr
so if the car is travelling at 16 m per second
16 metres / 1 second
Using proportions we multiply both sides by 3600
So we get
16*3600 metres / 1*3600 seconds
57600 meters/ 3600 seconds
Like we stated above 3600 seconds is an hr
so 57600 meters / 1 hour
1000 meters is equivalent to 1 kilometer
Now we know that in order to convert from meters to kilometers we divide the meters by 1000
So divide 57600 by a 1000 and that will give you your answer
