To solve the exercise, we can use a rule of three:


\begin{gathered} 1\operatorname{km}\rightarrow1000m \\ 322\operatorname{km}\rightarrow x \end{gathered}
\begin{gathered} x=\frac{322\operatorname{km}\cdot1000m}{1\operatorname{km}} \\ x=(322\cdot1000m)/(1) \\ x=322\cdot1000m \\ x=322,000m \end{gathered}

Therefore, the falcon can fly 322,000m/hour or 322,000 meters per hour.
