Final answer:
Answer is Option A. A squirrel climbing at 16 m/s will travel 57600 meters in an hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find out how many meters the squirrel will travel every hour, we need to convert the squirrel's climbing speed from meters per second to meters per hour.If a squirrel climbs a tree at 16 m/s, to find out how many meters it will travel every hour, we'll need to convert meters per second to meters per hour.
There are 3600 seconds in an hour, so to convert from meters per second to meters per hour, we can multiply the squirrel's climbing speed by 3600. To do this, we multiply by the number of seconds in an hour:
16 m/s * 3600 s/hour = 57600 meters per hour
Therefore, the squirrel will travel 57600 meters every hour, which corresponds to option (a) 57600 meters.
