Answer:

Sound waves travel through iron at 11,427,840 km/h.

Explanation:

A kilometer is equal to 0.62 miles. An hour is equal to 3600 seconds. Therefore, if a sound wave travels through iron at a rate of 5120 m/s, it would be equal to (5120 x 0.62) km/s. This is equal to 3174.4 km/s which, multiplied by 3600 (the number of seconds that make an hour), would determine the speed in which a sound wave travels through iron. So, as 3174.4 x 3600 is 11,427,840, so sound waves travel at 11,427,840 km/h.
