The World Snail Racing Championships have been held in the English village of Congham, Norfolk since the 1960s. The contestants are placed at the center of a circular table covered with a damp tablecloth and race outwards 13 inches (33 cm) towards the finish line. A contestant known only as Archie set the current world record of 2 minutes 20 seconds in 1995. Determine Archie's speed in m/s and km/h.

Speed = distance / time

Speed = (33 cm) / (2min 20sec)

Speed = (0.33 m) / (140 sec)

Speed = 0.0024 m/s

Speed = (0.0024 m/s) x (3600 sec / 1 hr) x (1 km / 1000 m)

Speed = (0.0024 x 3600 / 1000) (m-sec-km / sec-hr-m)

Speed = 0.0085 km/hr
