See below

Explanation:

#(km)/h#

We want meters to be in the denominator, so we'll use the following conversion factor to get to #m/h#:

#((km)/h)((1000 m)/(1km))=(1000m)/h#

To get seconds in the denominator, we'll use the following conversion factor:

#((km)/h)((1000 m)/(1km))((1min)/(60s))((1h)/(60min))=(1000m)/(3600s)#

#(1000m)/(3600s)# is conversion factor you would use to convert #(km)/h# to #m/s#.
