This is what your steps could look like \(\large 24.36 \text{ km/s} = \frac{24.36 \text{ km}}{1 \text{ sec}}\times\frac{1000 \text{ m}}{1 \text{ km}}\) Note how the "km" units cancel \(\large 24.36 \text{ km/s} = \frac{24.36 \cancel{\text{ km}}}{1 \text{ sec}}\times\frac{1000 \text{ m}}{1\cancel{\text{ km}}}\) Leaving us with this \(\large 24.36 \text{ km/s} = (24.36*1000) \text{ m/s}\) \(\large 24.36 \text{ km/s} = 24,360 \text{ m/s}\)
