Let’s check out your problem:

The speed of sound at sea level is approximately 343 meters per second 
((m)/(s)). What is the speed of sound at sea level measured in kilometers per hour 
((km)/(h)) ?
Round the answer to the nearest whole number.
(There are 1000 meters in one kilometer and 3600 seconds in one hour.)

The speed of sound at sea level is approximately 343343 meters per second (ms) \left(\frac{\mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{s}}\right) . What is the speed of sound at sea level measured in kilometers per hour (kmh) \left(\frac{\mathrm{km}}{\mathrm{h}}\right) ?\newlineRound the answer to the nearest whole number.\newline(There are 10001000 meters in one kilometer and 36003600 seconds in one hour.)

Q. The speed of sound at sea level is approximately 343343 meters per second (ms) \left(\frac{\mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{s}}\right) . What is the speed of sound at sea level measured in kilometers per hour (kmh) \left(\frac{\mathrm{km}}{\mathrm{h}}\right) ?\newlineRound the answer to the nearest whole number.\newline(There are 10001000 meters in one kilometer and 36003600 seconds in one hour.)
  1. Convert Units: Convert the speed of sound from meters per second to kilometers per hour.\newlineFirst, we need to convert meters to kilometers and seconds to hours.\newlineThere are 10001000 meters in one kilometer and 36003600 seconds in one hour.\newlineTo convert meters per second to kilometers per hour, we multiply the speed in meters per second by the number of seconds in an hour and then divide by the number of meters in a kilometer.
  2. Calculate Speed: Calculate the speed of sound in kilometers per hour.\newlineSpeed in km/h\text{km/h} = Speed in m/s\text{m/s} ×3600s/h\times 3600 \, \text{s/h} / 1000m/km1000 \, \text{m/km}\newlineSpeed in km/h\text{km/h} = 343×3600/1000343 \times 3600 / 1000\newlineSpeed in km/h\text{km/h} = 1234800/10001234800 / 1000\newlineSpeed in km/h\text{km/h} = 1234.81234.8
  3. Round Answer: Round the answer to the nearest whole number.\newlineThe speed of sound at sea level in kilometers per hour is approximately 12351235 km/h when rounded to the nearest whole number.
