the train travels 528 kilometers in 1 hour.

1 hour is equal to 3600 seconds.

the train therefore travels 528 kilometers in 3600 seconds.

divide 528 kilometers by 3600 seconds and the train has traveled 528/3600 kilometers in 1 second.

multiply that by 24 and the train has traveled 528/3600 * 24 kilometers in 24 seconds.

simplify to get the train has traveled 3.52 kilometers in 24 seconds.

that's your solution.

1 hour = 60 minutes and 1 minute = 60 seconds, so 1 hour = 60 x 60 = 3600 seconds
528 km x 1000 = 528000 meters
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~```
(528000/3600) x 24 = your answer. (first divide to solve, then multiply the result times 24)

What ADDINGUP did makes ABSOLUTELY no sense. That person is only making your life more complicated by telling you to CONVERT kilometers to meters. WHY???
Again, that's TOTALLY, TOTALLY UNNECESSARY. Just divide 528 by 3,600 (number of seconds in 1 hour), and then multiply by 24, as follows: .
This should give you
That's all!!

A lot LOT of animosity for a minor difference, IMO.

You should spec what units you want the result in.
Kms, meters, furlongs, etc.
