One of the fastest recorded speeds of an alligator on land is 8.8 m/s. Approximately, what is the speed in kilometers per hour?

Respuesta :

The given speed is = 8.8 meter per second

To convert it in kilometer per hour, we will do the following steps:

1 meter = 0.001 km

So, 8.8 meter = 0.0088 km  

3600 seconds = 1 hour

1 sec = [tex]\frac{1}{3600}[/tex] hours

now, [tex]\frac{8.8meter}{second} = \frac{0.0088}{\frac{1}{3600} }[/tex]

Now multiplying 0.0088 and 3600

[tex]0.0088*3600[/tex]

= 31.68 km/h
