You can put this solution on YOUR website! During a track meet one athlete ran 1 mile in five minutes and another athlete ran 5000 m in 280 seconds the two runners use different units to describe their races so how can you compare them?
:
We can change the first runner into meters per second (1 mi = 1609.35 meters) = 5.3645 meters/sec
The second runner = 17.857 meters/sec
