Answer 1

Your task is to convert 12m/s into km/min

to get kilometers from meters we need to divide by 1000 and to get minutes from seconds we need to multiply 12 by 60. The reason why we are multiplying is because minutes are bellow / sign, so dividing divisor is equivalent to multiplying entire number.

That means that the answer is converting seconds to minutes and meters to kilometers
