Convert the rate of 5 cm per second to meters per minute.
100 cm = one meter and
60 seconds = one minute
(1 point)
meters per minute
To convert 5 cm per second to meters per minute, we need to divide by the conversion factors:
1 meter = 100 cm
1 minute = 60 seconds
First, convert cm to meters:
5 cm * (1 meter / 100 cm) = 0.05 meters
Next, convert seconds to minutes:
1 second = (1 minute / 60 seconds)
5 cm / 1 second * (1 minute / 60 seconds) = (5/60) cm per minute = 0.0833 cm per minute
Therefore, 5 cm per second is equal to 0.0833 meters per minute.
To convert the rate of 5 cm per second to meters per minute, we need to follow these steps:
1. Start with the given rate of 5 cm per second.
2. Convert 5 cm to meters by dividing it by 100 since there are 100 centimeters in one meter. So, 5 cm = 5/100 = 0.05 meters.
3. Convert seconds to minutes by dividing it by 60 since there are 60 seconds in one minute. So, 1 second = 1/60 = 0.0167 minutes.
4. To find the rate in meters per minute, divide the value in meters by the value in minutes. So, 0.05 meters / 0.0167 minutes = 2.994 meters per minute (rounded to three decimal places).
Therefore, the rate of 5 cm per second is equivalent to approximately 2.994 meters per minute.
To convert the rate from centimeters per second to meters per minute, we need to use the conversion factors:
1 meter = 100 centimeters
1 minute = 60 seconds
First, let's convert the rate from centimeters to meters:
5 cm * (1 meter / 100 cm) = 0.05 meters
Next, let's convert the rate from seconds to minutes:
0.05 meters * (60 seconds / 1 minute) = 3 meters per minute
Therefore, the rate of 5 cm per second is equivalent to 3 meters per minute.
