2. 90 minutes equals 1.5 hours.

Explanation

Concept: minutes to hours. Divide by 60 to convert minutes to hours. 90 ÷ 60 = 1.5 h.

Submit

3. 1 minute equals ____

Explanation

Concept: time base conversions. Time conversions often use fixed factors (not powers of ten). 1 min is defined as 60 seconds.

Submit

4. A car travels 120 km in 2 hours. Its average speed is:

Explanation

Concept: average speed. Average speed is distance divided by time. 120 km ÷ 2 h = 60 km/h.

Submit

5. A rate in 'km/h' can be converted to 'm/s' by dividing by 3.6.

Explanation

Concept: rate unit conversion. Since m/s to km/h is ×3.6, the reverse is ÷3.6. Using the inverse factor avoids re-deriving it every time.

Submit

6. Keeping track of units at each step prevents many conversion mistakes.

Explanation

Concept: unit tracking. Units act like labels that must cancel correctly. If they don’t, the conversion factor is wrong.

Submit

7. To convert m/s to km/h, you multiply by 3.6.

Explanation

Concept: m/s ↔ km/h factor. 1 m/s equals 3.6 km/h because of 1000 m per km and 3600 s per hour. This is a key conversion shortcut.

Submit

8. Convert 12 m/s to km/h:

Explanation

Concept: applying the 3.6 factor. Multiply 12 by 3.6. 12 × 3.6 = 43.2 km/h.

Submit

9. Convert 15 m/s to km/h:

Explanation

Concept: quick speed conversion. Multiply by 3.6. 15 × 3.6 = 54 km/h.

Submit

10. 2.5 hours equals 150 minutes.

Explanation

Concept: hours to minutes. Multiply hours by 60 to get minutes. 2.5 × 60 = 150 minutes.

Submit

11. Convert 180 s to minutes:

Explanation

Concept: seconds to minutes. Divide by 60 because there are 60 seconds per minute. 180 ÷ 60 = 3 minutes.

Submit

12. Convert 0.5 h to seconds:

Explanation

Concept: hours to seconds. 0.5 h is half an hour, so it’s half of 3600 s. Half of 3600 is 1800 s.

Submit

13. 1 m/s is exactly the same as 1 km/h.

Explanation

Concept: different units, different sizes. 1 m/s is 3.6 km/h. Confusing these leads to large speed errors.

Submit

14. Convert 600 s to minutes:

Explanation

Concept: seconds to minutes. Divide by 60. 600 ÷ 60 = 10 minutes.

Submit

15. To convert km/h to m/s, you ____ by 3.6.

Explanation

Concept: inverse conversion factors. Conversions are reversible. If one direction is multiply, the other is divide by the same factor.

Submit

16. 1 hour equals ____

Explanation

Concept: hours to seconds. 1 h = 60 min and each minute is 60 s, so 60 × 60 = 3600 s. This factor shows up often in speed conversions.

Submit

17. Which speed is fastest?

Explanation

Concept: compare by converting. Converting to one unit helps: 10 km/h ≈ 2.78 m/s and 15 km/h ≈ 4.17 m/s. So 20 m/s is clearly the fastest.

Submit

18. Convert 72 km/h to m/s:

Explanation

Concept: reverse conversion. Divide by 3.6 to go from km/h to m/s. 72 ÷ 3.6 = 20 m/s.

Submit

19. If something happens at 2 events per second, that is:

Explanation

Concept: frequency as per-second. Hz means 'per second.' So 2 events/s is 2 Hz.

Submit

20. Convert 5 km/min to km/h:

Explanation

Concept: minutes to hours scaling. There are 60 minutes in an hour. So 5 km/min × 60 = 300 km/h.
