100 meters x 1kilometer/1000 meters = 1/10 km = 0.10 km
10 seconds x 1 hour/3600 seconds = 10/3600= =1/360 hours
.
Solution: 1/10 km in 1/360 hours
or 0.10 km/0.0277 hr

100 meters in 10 seconds. How fast is this in kilometers per hour?
---------
(100 meters/10 seconds)(3600 seconds/1 hour)(1 kilometer/1000 meters)
= [100*3600*1 km]/[10*1*1000 hour]
= 36 km/hour
