Convert the rate of 5 cm per second to meters per minute
To convert cm/s to m/min, we multiply the value by 0.6 since there are 60 seconds in a minute:
5 cm/s * 0.6 = 3 m/min
So, 5 cm per second is equivalent to 3 meters per minute.
To convert the rate of 5 cm per second to meters per minute, we need to use the following steps:
Step 1: Convert cm to meters:
Since there are 100 centimeters (cm) in 1 meter (m), we divide 5 cm by 100 to get the rate in meters.
5 cm ÷ 100 = 0.05 meters
Step 2: Convert seconds to minutes:
Since there are 60 seconds in 1 minute, we divide the rate in seconds by 60 to get the rate in minutes.
0.05 meters ÷ 60 = 0.00083333 meters per minute
Therefore, the rate of 5 cm per second is approximately 0.00083333 meters per minute.
To convert the rate of 5 cm per second to meters per minute, we need to consider the following conversions:
1 meter = 100 centimeters
1 minute = 60 seconds
First, let's convert the rate from centimeters to meters:
5 cm = 5 cm / 100 cm/1 m = 0.05 m
Next, let's convert the rate from seconds to minutes:
1 second = 1/60 minute
So, we divide the rate in meters by the conversion factor:
0.05 m / 1 second = 0.05 m / (1/60) minute
To divide by a fraction, we can multiply by its reciprocal:
0.05 m / (1/60) minute = 0.05 m * (60/1) minute
Now, multiplying the numbers together gives us:
0.05 m * 60 minute = 3 m
Therefore, the rate of 5 cm per second is equivalent to 3 meters per minute.
