#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#.
