Why couldn't we compare Bolt at 10.44m/s to a Formula 1 Car at 375 km/hr? How did we fix that?

Given

Bolt at 10.44m/s

Formula 1 Car at 375 km/hr

Procedure

we can not compare Bolt at 10.44m/s to a Formula 1 Car at 375 km/hr, because the units are different.

we can fix that using the same units.

Bolt at 10.44m/s = 37.584 km/hr

Formula 1 Car at 375 km/hr = 104.167 m/s
