On the planet Zebulon, the standard unit for length is the kerflump (kf) and the standard unit for time is the zorch (zh). After many yecars of rescarch, you have determined that: 1 kerflump 1 zorch 2.115 meters (1 kf = 2.115 m) %3D %3D 3.025 seconds (1 zh = 3.025 s) %3D If you are driving at a speed of 83.5 mi/h, how fast are you going in terms of kerflumps per zorch (kf/zh)? NOTE: 1 mi = 1609 m.
