convert the rate of 5cm per second to meters per minute.

Answer 1

To convert the rate of 5cm per second to meters per minute, we first need to convert centimeters to meters and seconds to minutes.

1 meter = 100 centimeters
1 minute = 60 seconds

So, 5 cm per second is equal to:

5 cm/sec * (1 meter/100 cm) = 0.05 meters per second

Next, we convert meters per second to meters per minute:

0.05 meters/second * (60 seconds/1 minute) = 3 meters per minute

Therefore, a rate of 5cm per second is equivalent to 3 meters per minute.
