Find the time taken to cover a distance of $120$ km at a speed of $10$ m/sec.
Distance = 120 km = 120,000 m. Speed = 10 m/s. Time = 120,000 / 10 = 12,000 seconds. 12,000 / 3600 = 3.333 hours = 3 hours 20 minutes.
Using the conversion 1 m/sec equals 18/5 km/hr, the speed becomes 36 km/hr. By the formula time equals distance divided by speed, the time is 120/36 hrs. This equals 3 hrs 20 min.
