This is the concept of rates, we are required to convert on rate to another. The We have been given a car that is speeding at 9595 mph, we are required to convert this to meters per minute;
Here we proceed as follows;
1 mile= 1609.34 miles/hour
1 hour= 60 min
thus to convert from miles per hour to meters per minute we shall have:
speed=distance/time
our distance will be:
distance=9595*1609.34=15,441,617.3 meters
time=(60*1)=60 minutes
thus;
speed=15,441,617.3/60
speed=257,360.2882 meters per minuts
