Answer:

Explanation:

Let's convert one of these measurements so that both measurements have the same units. 15 m/sec is equivalent to 0.015 km/sec, which in turn is equivalent to

0.015 km 3600 sec

--------- -------- ----------------- = 54 km/hr

1 sec 1 hr

This latter result (54 km/hr) is faster than (40 km/hr).
