Answer:


(1)/(3) km/s or 0.3333333 km/s (you can round to whatever value you need to)

Explanation:

We can write the rate at which sound travels as the fraction
(19.8)/(1) km/min

As there are 60 seconds in a minute, we can replace the 1 min with 60 seconds in this fraction
(19.8)/(60) km/s.

When reduces, this fraction gives us:
(1)/(3) km/s or 0.3333333 km/s (you can round to whatever value you need to)
