A peregrine falcon can fly 322 kilometers per hour how many meters per hour can the falcon fly

Question

A peregrine falcon can fly 322 kilometers per hour how many meters can the falcon fly

Answer 1

Because there are 1000 meters in one kilometer, the speed of the falcon in meters increases by a factor of 1000.

 

 

You can solve by setting up the following proportion and solving for x:

 

322 km/hr = 1km/hr

x m/hr         1000m/hr

 

 

Or by multiplying by the conversion factor, making sure that the units cancel:

 

322 km x 1000 m

1 hour         1 km

 

In each case, your answer= 322,000 m/hr

 

Answer 2

Conversion:

1 km = 1000 m

 

322 * 1000 = 322,000 meters per hour
