convert the rate of 5cm per second to meters per minute.
To convert the rate of 5cm per second to meters per minute, we first need to convert centimeters to meters and seconds to minutes.
1 meter = 100 centimeters
1 minute = 60 seconds
So, 5 cm per second is equal to:
5 cm/sec * (1 meter/100 cm) = 0.05 meters per second
Next, we convert meters per second to meters per minute:
0.05 meters/second * (60 seconds/1 minute) = 3 meters per minute
Therefore, a rate of 5cm per second is equivalent to 3 meters per minute.
