@All.
speed(60)*1000(KM convert to meters)/3600(Hoursconvrt to sec)
->60*1000/3600 = 60 * 5/18 = 50/3.

Calculation: 60× (5 / 18)
Simplify:
(60×5)/18
Cancel common factors:
60 and 18 have a common factor of 6:
(10×6)×5/(3×6)
Cancel 6:
(10×5)/3 = 50/3.
Simplify:
(60×5)/18
Cancel common factors:
60 and 18 have a common factor of 6:
(10×6)×5/(3×6)
Cancel 6:

Speed = 60 km/hr= 60* (5/18) m/s = 16.67 m/s.
Time= 9 sec.
Distance = speed* time.
Distance = 16.67 * 9 =150m.
Time= 9 sec.
Distance = speed* time.
Distance = 16.67 * 9 =150m.
