To answer this, simply convert kilometers to meters:

%2882km%2F1hr%29%2A%281000m%2F1km%29

%2882%2Across%28km%29%2F1hr%29%2A%281000m%2F%281%2Across%28km%29%29%29

82000m%2F1hr

The answer is 82,000 meters.

The type of unit conversion/cancellation seen here is very powerful, and is used in lots of scientific applications.

I hope this helps! :)
