Question

In a crazed neighborhood they are replacing the speed limit signs that give the speed in m/s.

What would the new sign say if it were to replace a 25 mph sign?

Answer 1

11 m/s

Explanation:

In converting from mph to m/s, the appropriate conversion factor must be used which in this case is 0.44704 m/s.

Thus;

If 1mph = 0.44704 m/s

Then 25 mph = 25 × 0.44704 m/s = 11.176 m/s
