Unit Conversions Three Yards into Feet Three Meters into Centimeters

How many seconds are there in a day?

Convert 60mi/hr into ft/s! 1 mile = 5,280 feet.

Convert 60mi/hr into m/s!

Convert 35mi/hr into m/s! | 1mi = 1.609km | 1km = 1000m | ASSIGNMENT: SHOW ALL WORK!!!

Problem 2: Convert 60 milers per hour into meters per second. Solution: We must convert both miles into meters and hours into seconds. Conversion Factor: 1 Mile = Kilometers so we first convert the 60 miles into kilometers:
