Step-by-step explanation

The rocket that carried the Curiosity Rover to Mars traveled at a speed of 21,000 miles per hour. What is this speed to the nearest mile per second?

1 hr = 3600 sec

Since an hour is 3600 seconds (i.e., 60 x 60), you simply need to divide that number by 3600

→ 21000 mph = 21000 ÷ 3600 mps = 5 5/6 mps →

ANSWER : 6 mps to the nearest mps.
