Question from jason, a student:

A boy runs 36 metres in 6.50 seconds.How fast is he going in miles per hour

Hi Jason. You need to convert from one kind of speed to another. To do this, you need to know how many meters are in one mile and how many seconds are in one hour:

convert

Hope this helps,
