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.
