Algebra.Com's Answer #204514 by Mathematicians(84)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi there,\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You definitely want to change the units so:\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Q: convert 500 feet per second to kilometers per hour\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "There are \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You will see that you have a second on the numerator and denominator, therefore they get canceled and now you have minutes on bottom:\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We have the hour units done, we still need the to convert feet into kilometers:\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "There are 0.3048 meter / foot and 0.001 kilometer / meter \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Similar thing happens: 1800000 foot / hour * .3048 meter / foot * .001 kilometer / meter = 548.64 kilometers/hour \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "548.64 kilometers/hour\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Sorry, the formula program is giving me errors when I use decimal int he expressions, I had to remove them later on \n" ); document.write( " |
