COMPOUND MEASURES

Compound measures are measures made up of


mixed units. For example, ‘kilometres per
hour’, ‘miles per hour’ and ‘metres per second’
are compound measures for speed. You can use
compound measures to make comparison in
real life. For example, you can compare speeds
of cars to see which car can travel fastest.
Example 1: A train travels 185 km in hours. A different train
travels 500 km in hours. Which train travels faster?

Example 2: A 250 g jar of coffee costs $6.75. A 100 g jar of the
