Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Develop conversions factors (such as 1km/1000m) as needed to convert the units. E.g., since there are 3600 seconds in an hour (60s*60m), we can write either 3600s/1h or 1h/3600s. Both are valid since in both cases the denominator and numerator are equivalent (and thus numerically equivalent to 1, even though the actual value is not 1 due to the unit change. Mathematically, is is still "1."

2m/s= km/h

1km = 1000m, or 1km/1000m

1h = 3600s, or 3600s/1h

(2m/s)*(1km/1000m)*(3600s/1h) = (2km/1000s)*(3600s/1h)= 7.2 km/h

9m/s= km/s

1km = 1000m, or 1km/1000m

(9m/s)*(1km/1000m)= 0.009km/s

36km/h= m/s

1km = 1000m, or 1000m/1km

1h = 3600s, or 1h/3600s

(36km/h)(1000m/1km)(1h/3600s) = 10m/s

108km/h= m/s

1km = 1000m, or 1000m/1km

1h = 3600s, or 1h/3600s

(108km/h)(1000m/km)(1h/3600s)= 30m/s
