*1h/ 60min

Answer 1

I think your answer would be 4,000

Answer 2

1000 Meters per Kilometer and 1 Hour per 60 Minute

Explanation:

In the given question, we have to convert 4 km per min into meters per hour.

We know that:

There are 1000 meters in a kilometer, therefore we multiply it by 1000.

Also, there are 60 minutes in an hour. Therefore, to convert minutes into hour we divide it by 60.

This can be written as :

`\displaystyle\frac{Kilometer* 1000\text{Meter per Kilometer}}{Minute* \text{1 Hour per 60 Minute}}`

`= 60,000 \text{ meters per hour}`

Thus,

`4 \text{ kilometer per hour} = 60000* 4\text{ meters per hour}\\= 2,40,000\text{ meters per hour}`

Thus, from the options mention below we can use the transformations:

1000 Meters per Kilometer and 1 Hour per 60 Minute.

Although, the other two transformation can be used as well and mean the same. But it is appropriate to use these.
