A peregrine falcon can fly 322 kilometers per hour. How many meters per hour can the falcon fly?

I know the answer is 322,000, but how do I write it out to explain?

When you're working with units of measure, the prefix 'kilo...' almost always means '1,000'.
1 kilometer means 1,000 meters
322 (kilometers) per hour means 322 (1,000 meters) per hour.
322 (1,000 meters) = 322,000 meters
Does that help a little bit ?

The peregrine falcon's speed of 322 kilometers per hour is converted to meters per hour by multiplying by 1,000. Thus, the falcon flies at a speed of 322,000 meters per hour. This is achieved by recognizing that 1 kilometer equals 1,000 meters.
