@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.

It calculates as 600m->36 sec.
Then X->9sec.
By cross multiplication x =150m.
Then X->9sec.
By cross multiplication x =150m.
