Answer 1

Having a given problem of 79.5 miles per hour to be converted to meters per second, we need to know the constant values of 1 mile = 1609 meter, 1 hour = 60 minutes and 1 minute = 60 seconda. To solve, (79.5 mi/1 h)x(1609 m/ 1 mi)x(1 hr/60min)x(1 min/60 sec). The final answer would be 35.53 m/s.
