You want to cancel out units when you do the conversion. You want to have m on top and s on the bottom.
1000m = 1km
1 hr = 3600s
so set your conversion up like this:
18km/1hr * 1000m/1km * 1hr/3600s
If you notice, you aren’t changing anything about 18km/hr because you are simply multiplying by 1 and then 1 again.
Multiply the first two fractions. km cancels out because it is in both the numerator and denominator.
This gives you:
18000m/1hr * 1hr/3600s
Multiply again and you get:
18000m/3600s
This reduces down to 5 m/s.
