Verified Answer :
4cm/s in m/h
First step, work out how many seconds in an hour
(seconds) 60 x (minutes) 60
60 x 60 = 3600 seconds in an hour
1 seconds = 4 cm
x3600 to get the distance in cm/h
3600 seconds (1 hour) = 14,400cm
Divide by 100 for m/h
14400/100 = 144 meters per hour
The rate of 4 centimeters per second is equal to 144 meters per hour.
What is unit conversion?
A conversion factor is a ratio that expresses how many of one unit are equal to another unit. To convert a smaller unit to a larger unit (eg to ), divide it by the number of smaller units which are needed to make larger unit. To convert from a larger unit to a smaller one, multiply. To convert from a smaller unit to a larger one, divide.
For the given situation,
4 centimeters per second is equal to how many meters per hour.
1 centimeter = \(\frac{1}{100} meters\)
⇒ \(4 centimeter = \frac{4}{100} meters\)
⇒\(0.04 meters\)
1 second = \(\frac{1}{3600} hours\)
Thus 4 centimeters per second = \(\frac{0.04}{1}\) ÷ \(\frac{1}{3600}\)
⇒ \(0.04\) × \(3600\)
⇒ \(144\)
Hence we can conclude that the rate of 4 centimeters per second is equal to 144 meters per hour.
