Answer:
The converted rate is 175 meters per 9 seconds.
Step-by-step explanation:
Conversion:
Kilometers to meters ⇒ multiply km by 1,000 m/km
Hours to seconds ⇒ multiply hr by 3,600 sec/hr
70 km/h = 70,000 meters/3,600 seconds
Simplify:
70,000 meters/3,600 seconds = 700 meters/36 seconds
GCF (greatest common factor) or 700 and 36 is 4.
(700÷4) / (36÷4) = 175/9
The converted rate is 175 meters per 9 seconds.
