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 convert the units from centimeters to meters and from seconds to minutes.
Since 100 cm = 1 meter, we divide 5 cm by 100 cm/m to get the amount in meters:
5 cm ÷ 100 cm/m = 0.05 m
Next, since 60 seconds = 1 minute, we multiply the amount in meters by 60 seconds/min to get the amount in meters per minute:
0.05 m × 60 s/min = 3 m/min
Therefore, the rate of 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 conversion factors:
1 meter = 100 cm
1 minute = 60 seconds
First, let's convert 5 cm per second to meters per second:
5 cm/1 second = 5/100 meter/1 second
= 0.05 meter/second
Now, let's convert meters per second to meters per minute:
0.05 meter/second * (60 seconds/1 minute)
= 3 meters/minute
Therefore, the rate of 5 cm per second is equivalent to 3 meters per minute.
To convert cm per second to meters per minute, we need to convert both the length and time units.
First, we convert the length from cm to meters.
1 meter = 100 cm
So, to convert 5 cm to meters, we divide by 100:
5 cm ÷ 100 = 0.05 meters
Next, we convert the time from seconds to minutes.
1 minute = 60 seconds
To convert the rate from seconds to minutes, we divide by 60:
1 second ÷ 60 = 0.0167 minutes
Finally, we divide the length in meters by the time in minutes to get the rate in meters per minute:
0.05 meters ÷ 0.0167 minutes = 2.994 meters per minute
Therefore, the rate of 5 cm per second is equivalent to approximately 2.994 meters per minute.
