    Given that

    x m/s is equivalent to y km/hr

    We know that 1000m=1km

    Also, 1hour=60mins

    And, 1mins=60sec

    Therefore,

    xm/s=y (km/hr) * (1000m/1km) * (1hr/60mins) * (1mins/60s)

    Then, the km cancels out, also the hours cancels out and the minutes cancel out

    Then, we see left with

    xm/s=y * 1000m/3600s

    xm/s = (1000/3600) y m/s

    xm/s=5y/18 m/s

    Then, make y the subject of the formula

    Cross multiply

    18xm/s=5y

    Divide both side by 5

    y=18x/5

    The correct answer is C
