Answer 1

Apolo Ohno skated about 26.84 miles per hour

Explanation:

Given:

Apolo Ohno won a gold medal by skating about 12 m/s

We need to find 12 m/s in miles per hour

1 hour consist of 3600 seconds

12 m/h =
`12*3600 =43200\ meter \ per \ hour`

1 mile = 1609.344 meter

how many miles Ohno skated = 43200 meter per hour

By using Unitary Method we get

Miles Apolo Ohno Skated =
`(43200)/(1609.344)= 26.84323`

Rounding to nearest hundred we get

Apolo Ohno Skated about 26.84 miles per hour
