Verified Answer :

A cart travels down a ramp at an average speed of 5.00
centimeters/second. What is the speed of the cart in miles/hour?  

To solve this problem we have set the conversion values to
determine the product during the conversion process.


1.  
1
centimeter = 0.00000621371 mile


2.  
 1 hour = 60 minutes

3.    1 minute = 60 seconds


Thus, we shall have


1.   5 cm x 0.00000621371
mile/1cm = 0.000031069 mi


2.   0.000031069
seconds x 1 hr / 3600 = 0.111846815 miles / hr
