To solve, we need to find out how many kilometers are equal to 1 cm and how many hours equal 1 min...\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1 centimeter = 1/100 of a meter
\n" ); document.write( "1 meter = 1/1000 of a kilometer\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So, to find how many centimeters are in a kilometer, multiply 100 and 1000 and divide 1 by that answer:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "100 x 1000 = 100,000\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1/100,000 = .00001\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Therefore 1 centimeter = .00001 kilometer\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now we need to find out how many hours are in 1 min:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1 hour = 60 min, so 1 min = 1/60 hours\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "All that's left to do is:
\n" ); document.write( "1. multiply 5 cm by .00001 = 0.00005
\n" ); document.write( "2. divide that answer by 1/60: .00005 x 60 = .003\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "FINAL ANSWER: 5 cm/min = .003 km/hr \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
