Question

One of the fastest recorded speeds of an alligator on land is 8.8 m/s. Approximately, what is the speed in kilometers per hour?

Answer 1

The given speed is = 8.8 meter per second

To convert it in kilometer per hour, we will do the following steps:

1 meter = 0.001 km

So, 8.8 meter = 0.0088 km

3600 seconds = 1 hour

1 sec =
`(1)/(3600)` hours

now,
`(8.8meter)/(second) = (0.0088)/((1)/(3600) )`

Now multiplying 0.0088 and 3600

`0.0088*3600`

= 31.68 km/h
