Solve

Though you didn't ask for it, here's the way it is done. Notice that each set of brackets cancels the units of a set of brackets to the left of the set of brackets you are observing. This is called unit analysis. The answer is given below.

`(18 cm)/(sec) *[(60 cm)/(1 min)] * [(1 m)/(100 cm)] = 18*0.6(m)/(min)=10.8(m)/(min)`
