Given the speed is 200 km /hr

use 1 km = 1000 meter

1 hr = 3600 seconds

$200 km/hr = \frac{200*1000}{1*3600} m/s$

simplifies to

$\frac{5000}{9} m/s$

$55.6 m/s$

so option C

Answer: C) 55.6 m/s

Step-by-step explanation: 200km/1hr x 1000m/1km x 1hr/60min x 1min/60s = 55.6 m/s

If the conversion factors are properly set up and all numbers are correct, the unwanted units cancel out leaving the units of the final answer.

Create two different real-world scenarios—one in which you would use permutations and one in which you would use combinations: I

LenKa [72]

Permutation: In a race of 10 students, find the number of ways students can finish 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. In this case the order matters, so it is a permutation.
10 x 9 x 8 = 720 ways

Combination: In a class of 10 students, find the number of ways a group of 3 students can be selected to win a prize. In this case the order doesn't matter, so it's a combination.
10 x 9 x 8 / (3 x 2 x 1) = 120 ways
