1.
A person crosses a 600 m long street in 5 minutes. What is his speed in km per hour?
3.6
7.2
8.4
10
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Speed = 600 m/sec.
5 x 60

   = 2 m/sec.

Converting m/sec to km/hr (see important formulas section)

   = 2 x 18 km/hr
5

   = 7.2 km/hr.

I can understand how it came 5/18m/sec but can not understand 18/5 km/hr?

@Minalo.

If you want to change in km then multiply the value with 18/5.

I don't know the formula. How you convert m to km. What s that formula.

T=5/60hour,
D=600/1000Km=3/5Km,
Speed=Distance /Time=3/5*60/5=7.2Km/hr.

s = d/t.
d = 600m,
t = 5m.
600/5 * 60,
= 2 * 18/5,
= 2 * 3.2,
= 7.2.

600/5*60 = 2 m/sec.

Converting to km/h,

= 2*18/5.

= 7.2 km/h.
