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 first need to convert the seconds to minutes and the centimeters to meters.
Since 100 cm = 1 meter, we divide 5 cm by 100 to get the equivalent in meters:
5 cm / 100 = 0.05 meters
Next, we convert seconds to minutes. Since 60 seconds = 1 minute, we divide 1 by 60 to get the equivalent in minutes:
1 second / 60 = 0.0167 minutes
Finally, we divide the meters by the minutes:
0.05 meters / 0.0167 minutes = 2.994 meters per minute
Therefore, the rate of 5 cm per second is approximately 2.994 meters per minute.
