$(29.4xx60xx60)/1000 = 106.2$ km/h

Explanation:

To do this conversion, consider the following:

If you travel $29.5$ metres in $1$ sec, then:

in $2$ seconds you will travel twice as far as in $1$ sec.
in $3$ seconds you will travel thrice as far as in $1$ sec.
in $4$ seconds you will travel four times as far as in $1$ sec.

in $1$ MINUTE you will travel $60$ times as far as in $1$ sec

in $1$ HOUR you will travel $60xx60$ times as far as in $1$ sec.

So the distance travelled in $1$ hour is:

$29.5 xx60xx60 = 106,200$ metres

To change metres into kilometres, $div 1000$

$106200 div1000 = 106.2km$ in one hour.

So, the process to convert $m/s to (km)/hr$

$(29.4xx60xx60)/1000 = 106.2$ km/h
