If you have to go 500 miles to get to your friends house and you are going 3442 cm/sec, will you get there in 7 hours?
--------
3442cm/sec = (34.42 meters/sec)*(3600 sec/hr)(1 mile/1609.34 meters)
---------
= (34.42*3600*1)/(1*1*1609.34) miles/hr
---------
= 77 miles/hr
---------
Ans: 500/77 = 6.49 hrs
Ans: yes
