Which is Further - Changed Distance Units (Level 3)

This math topic involves advanced problems focused on comparing distances traveled at various speeds and time durations, with an added challenge of differing units for speed such as meters per second, millimeters per second, and centimeters per hour. The users are required to determine which of two moving objects (like horses, bacteria, rockets, or bugs) travels further based on the provided speeds and times. It is a practical application of the concepts of speed, distance, and time, highlighting unit conversion and comparative analysis skills.
