Question

You travel 275.5 miles in 8.5 hours whats the speed

Answer 1

We just need to change every value to the units in the question

We have to find meters per second. In 8.5 hours, there are (8.5*60*60 = 30,600) seconds.

1 mile = 1600 meters

275.5 * 1600 = 440800.

440800/30600 = 14.40522876 meters per second
