Velocity = distance (m) / time (s)

convert kilometers to metres (132300), substitute into formula.

convert hours to seconds (18000), substitute into formula. it becomes,

132300 divided by 18000 = 7.35 M/S

always answer questions in the units given in the question.

to get m/s into km/h, multiply by 3.6, therefore it equals 24.46 km/h
