A sea turtle swims at a speed of 27 kilometers per hour. A girl swims 14 decimeters per second.
1 m = 10 dm
1000 m = 1 km
How much faster does the sea turtle swim than the girl in meters per minute?
To convert the speed of the sea turtle into meters per minute, we need to convert kilometers to meters and hours to minutes.
First, let's convert the speed of the sea turtle from kilometers per hour to meters per minute:
27 km/h * 1000 m/km * 1 h/60 min = (27 * 1000) / 60 m/min = 450 m/min
Now let's convert the speed of the girl from decimeters per second to meters per minute:
14 dm/s * 1 m/10 dm * 60 s/1 min = (14 * 1 * 60) / 10 m/min = 84 m/min
Now we can calculate how much faster the sea turtle swims than the girl in meters per minute:
450 m/min - 84 m/min = 366 m/min
Therefore, the sea turtle swims 366 meters per minute faster than the girl.
