Question

You travel 275.5 miles in 8.5 hours whats the speed
the speed should be 32.41 miles per hour

but what is the speed of traveling at meters per second if 1 mile = 1600 meters

i also need to see steps because im writing this as a program

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
