Answer :
1000 m=1 km and
60 min=3600 sec=1 hr
So to change 20 m/sec into km/hr, multiply 20 m/sec by
(3600 sec/1 hr)×(1 km/1000 m).
These two factors are conversion factors.
Each of these is equal to 1 so that 20 m/sec is multiplied by 1×1=1. This means its value does not change and the units of measure do. Then
20 msec×3600 sec1 hr×1 km1000 m
=20×3600×1 km1×1000 hr
=720001000 km/hr
=721 km/hr
=72 km/hr
is the answer.
Notice that seconds and meters cancelled out, leaving kilometers and hours.
