Question

one of the fastest recorded speeds of a turtle while swimming is 9m/s. Approximately, what is this speed in kilometers per hour?

Answer 1

$32.4\frac{km}{h}$

This problem can be solved by using unit conversion. The trutle swimming at $9\frac{m}{s}$, to calculate its speed in $\frac{km}{h}$:

We have to convert meter to kilometer, and second to hour as follow:

$9\frac{m}{s}*\frac{1km}{1000m}*\frac{3600s}{1h}\\9*\frac{3600km}{1000h}\\32.4\frac{km}{h}$
