First, convert the speed of the Mustang to mi/hr (mph) using 1 mi = 5280 ft and 1 hr = 3600 s.
= 19.77 mph
Next, use 0.3048 m = 1 ft and 1 km = 1000 m to convert to km/hr:
= 31.82 km/hr
Similarly, calculate the speed of the Pinto in mph and km/hr:
= 22.37 mph
= 36.00 km/hr
When the speeds of both car models are converted to common units, the Pinto is faster.
