43.2 kphs Per hour because there are 3600 seconds and in hour and 12 meters is equal to 0.012 and 0.012 times 3600 is 43.2

Set up multiplication/division to cancel out units that you do not need for your final answer and introduce units that you do.

You want your answer in the form km/hr and you are starting with m/s so:

(12m/s) (km/1000m) (60s/min) (60min/hr) = 43.2km/hr

The car is traveling at 43.2 kilometers per hour.
