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
