You should be able yourself.
1 hour = 60 minutes
1 minute = 60 seconds
1 kilometer = 1000 meters
Use these as fractions.

Start using your given rate as 100%2A%28kilometers%2Fhour%29.

.
100 km%2Fh = 100*1000 m%2Fh = 100,000 m%2Fh = 100000%2F3600 m%2Fsecond = 27.77778 m%2Fsecond.

1 km = 1000 m.

1 hour = 3600 seconds.
