A car travels at a steady 36 km/h. How far does it cover in one second?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. 10 m

  1. Step 1: Convert km/h to m/s by dividing by 3.6: 36 / 3.6 = 10 m/s. Step 2. So the car covers 10 m each second. Answer: 10 m. Why not the others: 18 m: 18 m comes from halving the km/h figure, which is not the conversion. 6 m: 6 m divides by 6 instead of 3.6. 20 m: 20 m is the distance in two seconds.
