Answer 1

The conversing factor is
`(1)/(1000)\ km`.

Explanation:

The average speed of a person is 18 km/h.

We need to convert the speed to meters/hour.

We know that,

1 km = 1000 m

or

`1\ m=(1)/(1000)\ km`

So,

`18\ (km)/(h)=18* (1000\ m)/(h)\\\\=18000\ m/h`

So, the conversing factor is
`(1)/(1000)\ km`.
