In terms of units:
( km/hr ) x ( hr/min ) x ( min/sec ) x ( m/km ) x ( mm/m ) = mm/sec
Fill in the numbers
+120%2A%28+1%2F60+%29%2A%28+1%2F60+%29%2A%28+1000%2F1+%29%2A%28+1000%2F1+%29+
+10%5E6+%2A+%28+1%2F3600+%29+%2A+120+
+%28+12%2F360+%29+%2A+10%5E6+
+%28+1%2F30+%29+%2A+10%5E6+
+%28+1%2F3+%29+%2A+10%5E5+=+33333.33+
The car travels 33,333.33 mm in 1 sec

120 km = 120 * 1000 * 1000 mm
=12*10^7 mm
1 hour = 3600 seconds = 36*10^2
12*10^7/36*10^2
33000 mm/s
