Question

How do you convert 83 km/h to m/s?

Answer 1

`83` km/h is `23.06` m/s.

Explanation:

`83` kilometers per hour means

`83000` meters in one hour means

`83000` meters in `3600` seconds or

`83000/3600` meters per second

and as numerator and denominator each are divisible by `200`

`83000/3600=(415cancel(83000))/(18cancel(3600))=415/18=23.06` meters per second

Note - Hence to convert `km`/`hr.` to `m`/`sec` just multiply by `1000/3600=5/18` and from `m`/`sec` to `km`/`hr.` just multiply by `18/5`.
