## Measurement: Setting up a Unit Conversion

A student sets up the following equation to convert a measurement.

(The '?' stands for a number the student is going to calculate.)

Fill in the missing part of this equation.

**Note:** Your answer should be in the form of one or more fractions multiplied together.

\[
\left( 15 \frac{\text{kg} \cdot \text{m}}{\text{s}} \right) \times \left( \text{?} \right) = \text{g} \cdot \frac{\text{cm}}{\text{s}}
\]

### Diagram

The diagram shows a mathematical expression involving a unit conversion that involves converting a measurement from kilograms times meters per second (\( \text{kg} \cdot \text{m} / \text{s} \)) to grams times centimeters per second (\( \text{g} \cdot \text{cm} / \text{s} \)). The missing part of the equation needs to be filled in.

### Interface Elements

- **Multiplication Symbols**: Various multiplication approaches (e.g., fractions) are indicated.
- **Fraction Selector**: A small tool for creating a fraction is displayed.
- **Special Character Selection**: Includes options for selecting the Greek letter "μ".
- **Buttons**:
  - **Explanation**: Provides further details or instructional help.
  - **Check**: Validates the answer input by the student.
