60km/hr = 5/18 * 60 m/s = 50/3 m/s.
50m/s means 50 metres for 3 seconds,
Then for 9 seconds - 150 metres.
50m/s means 50 metres for 3 seconds,
Then for 9 seconds - 150 metres.

60 *5/18 = 50/3.
450m/3 = 150m.
450m/3 = 150m.

Length = speed × time.
60*(5/18) = 50/3
(50/3)*9 = 150.
Length = 150 metres.
60*(5/18) = 50/3
(50/3)*9 = 150.
Length = 150 metres.

@All Everyone,
For the people who asking how 5/18 came?
It is used to convert KMPH to MPS
Let me explain how and when to use it. The hint is in the Answers we can see 60 km/hr and answers in Meters.
If it's Vise Versa we will use 18/5 to get the answer in Kmph.
