Answer:

About 90.73 meters/min.

Explanation:

Dimensional analysis is done by multiplying the wanted unit over the current unit in equal measure, or the other way around.

First, we will convert feet to meters, using that 1 ft = .4048 m.

32ft/6.45sec * .3048m/1ft = 32/6.45sec * .3048m = 9.7536m/6.45 sec.

Second, we convert seconds to minutes, using that 60 sec = 1 min.

9.7536m/6.45sec * 60sec/1min = 9.7536*60m/6.45min ≈ 90.7311627m/min.
