Im terrible at math and I can't seem to work out a proper conversion for turning kg/m/s into kg/km/h.

Basically the question wants me to turn a measurement of .104kg/m/s into ?/kg/m/s. Can someone walk me through the steps to getting to the proper answer?

are you sure that it isn't kg x M/s? I don't know any useful aplication that would be kilograms per meters per second. anyways, if it is kg/ (m/s), then you would multiply it by 1/(3600/1000). if it is meters on top, you would multiply it by 1000/3600

so kg/(m x s)?
pretty much what you do, whatever side of the / the meters or seconds are on, you multiply the opposite side by 1000 or 3600, respectivley, one of my answers were wrong before, because they end up being the same thing.

multiply it by 60 twice (1ce to get into minutes, 2nd to get it into hours). Multiply meters by 1000 to get km

Take your first number then divide by 1,000 and again by 3,600.

The explanation was unclear, but if it actually is kg/(m x s), dividing in the denominator is the same as multiplication, so he does multiply by 3600000
