Sure, let's solve this problem step by step.
1. Understand the Problem:
The car travels [tex]\(\frac{1}{100}\)[/tex] of a kilometer in each second. We need to figure out how many kilometers the car travels in one hour.
2. Find the Number of Seconds in One Hour:
One hour is equal to 60 minutes, and each minute is equal to 60 seconds. Therefore, the number of seconds in one hour:
[tex]\[
60 \text{ minutes/hour} \times 60 \text{ seconds/minute} = 3600 \text{ seconds/hour}
\][/tex]
3. Calculate the Distance Traveled per Second:
The car travels [tex]\(\frac{1}{100}\)[/tex] of a kilometer each second.
4. Calculate the Total Distance Traveled in One Hour:
Since the car travels [tex]\(\frac{1}{100}\)[/tex] of a kilometer each second, and there are 3600 seconds in one hour, the total distance the car travels in one hour is:
[tex]\[
\left(\frac{1}{100} \text{ kilometers/second}\right) \times 3600 \text{ seconds} = \frac{3600}{100} \text{ kilometers} = 36 \text{ kilometers}
\][/tex]
So, the car travels 36 kilometers in one hour.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
(A) 36
