Question

A car is traveling at a speed of 95 mi/h. If there are 0.62137 miles (mi) in a kilometer,

Answer 1

Answer:

42 m/s

Explanation:

To we convert units for speed we can use dimensional analysis. First thing we do is seperate the measurement into a fraction. After this we can multiply by 1km over 0.62137 miles. We do this so that the miles cancel out.

$\frac{95mi}{h}$ × $\frac{1km}{0.62137mi}$ = $\frac{95km}{0.62137h}$

After this we can use a conversion factor and divide by 3.6.

$\frac{95km}{0.62137h}$ ÷ 3.6 = 42 m/s
