Okay. So, 1,000 = 1 kilometer. To find the speed in meters, do 96.5 * 1,000. When you do that, you get 96,500 meters. The cheetah's speed is 96,500 meters per hour. But, it asks for the speed per second, so we're not done yet. 3,600 seconds equal 1 hour. Let's do 96,500/3,600. The quotient for that problem is 26.80555556 as shown on the calculator or 26.8 when rounded to the nearest tenth. The cheetah's speed in meters per second is 26.8.
