Here is the complete question:

A car is traveling at a rate of 30 meters per second. What is the car's rate in kilometers per hour? How many kilometers will the car travel in 5 hours? Do not round your answers.

Step-by-step explanation:

1000 meters = 1 kilometer

∴ 1 meter = 0.001 kilometer

3600 seconds = 1 hour

∴ 1 second = 1/3600 hour

Therefore,

=

=

= 108 kilometers / hour

Hence, the car's rate in kilometers per hour is 108 kilometers per hour.

From the formula

Speed = Distance / Time

∴ Distance = Speed × Time

(NOTE: Speed is also known as rate)

Speed (Rate) = 108 kilometers / hour

Time = 5 hours

∴ Distance = Speed × Time gives

Distance = 108 × 5

Distance = 540 kilometers

Hence, the car will travel 540 kilometers in 5 hours.
