Question

Convert the speed of sound 767 miles per hour to meters per hour. [1000

meters = 0.62 miles]

Answer 1

Answer: 1.24x10^6 meters/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to go from miles/hour to meters/hour, so we need a conversion factor that has units of meters/mile:

(miles/hour)*(meters/mile) = meters/hour

We have 1000 meters = 1 mile, so (1000 meters)/(0.62 miles) = 1, a conversion factor in meters/mile!

(767 miles/hour)*((1000 meters)/(0.62 mile) = 1.24x10^6 meters/hour
