Answer:
267.948
Explanation:
But looking at the question, it wants us to convert feet to kilometers and seconds to hours. First let's start with feet, 1 foot is equal to about .305 meters. Okay we can set up an equation to find out what we should do so since its asking us to convert 245 feet into meters. We need to put the units in it for this. We need to get rid of the feet and replace it with meters. The only way to get rid of the feet is dividing it by feet. However, we are also trying to put it into meters. As I wrote earlier, 1 foot is equal to .305m so we can just plug it in. The ft cancel out and all we need to do is just multiply. Since 1 feet is .305 meters, we can just multiply 245 by .305 to get 245 feet in meters. It would be about 74.73. Okay, we have it in meters, but it is asking for kilometers. We need to do the same process again. We should remember that 1000 meter are in 1 kilometer. We need to convert the meters into kilometers then seconds into hours. We can use the same process here. The unit you are cancelling out always has to be on the bottom. Okay, that just leaves 74.43 x (1/1000), or it can be just 74.43/1000 and both are the same thing. You're trying to get feet into kilometers, so the number should be pretty small. There are 1000 meters in 1 kilometer, so you need to divide the meters by 1000 to put it into kilometers. That's basically what we are doing here but with units. That comes out to be .07443, not our final answer though. We just need to convert seconds to hours which is easy. We know that 60 seconds is in a minute and 60 minutes are in the hour. Now we just need to multiply these 2 together. 60 x 60 = 3,600. If we look at the question its saying kilometers per hour. So we have to divide the kilometers by the 3600. 3600 seconds is equal to 1 hour and .07443 km is still in per second since we didn't change it. 3600 has to be on top because we have to cancel out the units. This is why I put the units. Okay that just leaves .07443 x 3600. When we solve .07443 x 3600 we would get our final answer. (Remember the steps: we first converted feet into meters, then into kilometers. then we converted seconds into hours)
.07443 x 3600 = 267.948 Therefore our final answer is 267.948.
