To convert the competitor's running rate from meters per second to kilometers per hour, follow these steps:
1. First, convert meters to kilometers: 200 meters is equal to 0.2 kilometers (since 1 kilometer = 1000 meters).
2. Then, convert seconds to hours: 24 seconds is equal to 0.0067 hours (since 1 hour = 3600 seconds).
3. Finally, divide the distance (in kilometers) by the time (in hours) to find the rate in kilometers per hour:
Rate = Distance / Time
Rate = 0.2 km / 0.0067 hours ≈ 29.85 km/h
So, the competitor's running rate is approximately 29.85 kilometers per hour.
