Question

frank needs to convert 24 centimeters per second to meters per minute. which conversion factors should she use?

Answer 1

for the cm units you would need to multiply by .01 to convert it to meters than multiply the time unit by (1/60) to change from seconds to minutes.

so the answer is 0.01/1cm and 1min/60sec

Answer 2

C.
`\frac{\text{0.01 m}}{\text{1 cm}}\text{ and } \frac{\text{60 sec}}{\text{1 min}}`.

Explanation:

We have been given that Frank needs to convert 24 centimeters per second to meters per minute. We are asked to convert choose the appropriate conversion factors.

`\frac{\text{ 24 cm}}{\text{sec}}`

1 min = 60 sec

`\frac{\text{ 24 cm}}{\text{sec}}* \frac{\text{60 sec}}{\text{1 min}}`

We know that 1 meter equals 100 centimeters and 1 cm equals 0.01 meters.

`\frac{\text{ 24 cm}}{\text{sec}}* \frac{\text{60 sec}}{\text{1 min}}* \frac{\text{0.01 m}}{\text{1 cm}}`

`\text{0.24 m}* \frac{\text{60}}{\text{1 min}}`

`\frac{\text{14.4 m}}{\text{min}}`

Therefore, our conversion units are
`\frac{\text{0.01 m}}{\text{1 cm}}\text{ and } \frac{\text{60 sec}}{\text{1 min}}` and option C is the correct choice.
