Question 66316: A ratio of two like quantites with different units can be used as a conversion factor. Use the fact that 1 mile=1.6 kilometers to convert the following quantites.
A) 50miles to kilometers. 50*1.06=53kilometers?
B) 90km/hr to mi/hr. 90km divided by 1.6= 56.25mi/hr?
C) How many m/s is 90km/hr. 56.25 divided by 60mins=.9375?
.9375 divided by 60sec= .015625?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Q A. 50 * 1.6 = 80 (you used 1.06 rather than 1.6)
Q B. Looks good
Q C. %2890+km%29%2Fhr+=%2890000+m%29%2F%2860+%2A+60+sec%29
90000%2F3600 m/s
= 25 metres per second
