The velocity of car is 80.0 miles per hour. What is the velocity of car in meters per second? (1 km - 0.621 miles) m/s

First of all, you haven't said anything about what direction the car is going, so we're only talking about speed here, not velocity.

Take these two fractions: (1 hour/3600 sec) and (1000 meter/0.621 mile)

Each of those fractions is exactly equal to ' 1 ', because it has the exact same thing on top and bottom. So I can multiply any quantity by them, without changing the value of the quantity, only the units.

I'm going to take your 80 mile/hour, multiply it by those 2 fractions, then simplify everything:

Speed = (80 mile/hour) x (1 hour/3600 sec) x (1,000 meter/0.621 mile)

Speed = (80·1·1000 / (1·3600·0.621) (mile-hour-meter/hour-sec-mile)

Speed = (80,000 / 2235.6) (meter / sec)

Speed = 35.78 meters per second

80 miles per hour = 35.7632 meters per second.

(divide the speed by 2.237)
