The conversion factor used to convert kilometer per hour to meter per hour is [tex]1 \text{ meter } = \frac{1}{1000} kilometer[/tex]
Solution:
Given that average person's speed when riding a bike along a street is 18 kilometers per hour
To find: conversion factor used to convert the given speed to meters per hour
Given average speed = 18 km per hour
From the conversion parameters:
1 km = 1000 meters
or
[tex]1 \text{ meter } = \frac{1}{1000} kilometer[/tex]
So, we can use the above conversion factor to convert average speed into meters per hour
18 km per hour = 18000 meter per hour
So the conversion factor used to convert kilometer per hour to meter per hour is [tex]1 \text{ meter } = \frac{1}{1000} kilometer[/tex]
Thus option C is correct. 1000 meters for 1 kilometers
