15,000 meters/ 1 hour

Here, we want to make a conversion from kilometers per hour to meters per hour

We have hours in both cases so the only conversion we have to do here is from kilometers to meters

Mathematically, 1 km = 1000 m

Thus, 15 km will be = 15 * 1000 = 15,000 m

So our conversion is 15,000 meters per 1 hour
