Answer 1

I believe that the answer would be C because you need to convert the seconds into minutes, while multiplying the 20.1 m/s. This leading to equal 1206 meters per minute.

Answer 2

Option C is correct

Conversion factor is used : 60 seconds / 1 minutes

Explanation:

Given: Speed = 20.1 meters per second

To convert this speed in meters per minute.

Conversion Factor is the relationships between units to convert from one unit to another unit.

Use conversion: 1 minute= 60 second

speed =
`20.1(meter)/(seconds)`

Now, multiply the speed in meter/seconds with 60 seconds and you will get the speed in meters/minute.

i.e,

speed =
`20.1* 60 =1206(meter)/(minute)`

Therefore, the conversion factor is used : 60 seconds / 1 minutes
