Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance = 125km

Time taken = 2hrs

Unknown:

Speed of the car in km/hr and m/s = ?

Solution:

Speed is the distance divided by the time taken;

Speed =
(distance)/(time)

So;

Speed =
(125)/(2) = 62.5km/hr

Now in m/s;

1000m = 1km

3600s = 1hr

So;

62.5 x km x
(1)/(hr) x
(1000m)/(1km) x
(1hr)/(3600s) = 17.36m/s
