#(29.4xx60xx60)/1000 = 106.2#km/h

Explanation:

To do this conversion, consider the following:

If you travel #29.5# metres in #1# sec, then:

in #2# seconds you will travel twice as far as in #1# sec.
in #3# seconds you will travel thrice as far as in #1# sec.
in #4# seconds you will travel four times as far as in #1# sec.

in #1# MINUTE you will travel #60# times as far as in #1# sec

in #1# HOUR you will travel #60xx60# times as far as in #1# sec.

So the distance travelled in #1# hour is:

#29.5 xx60xx60 = 106,200# metres

To change metres into kilometres,#div 1000#

#106200 div1000 = 106.2km# in one hour.

So, the process to convert #m/s to (km)/hr#

#(29.4xx60xx60)/1000 = 106.2#km/h
