Answer:

Great question! To solve this problem you just need a bit of simple math. The short answer is 60 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, you must first set up your equation.

540km/2.5hr * 1000m/3600s

You would set it up this way because there are 1000 meters in a km and 3600 seconds in an hour. This

540000m/9000s

This simplifies down to

60m/s
