there are 60 seconds in 1 minute


\frac{161}{} (cm)/(min) * (1)/(60) (min)/(seconds)= (161)/(60) (cm)/(seconds)

Answer:

Speed of the Star Fish is 3 centimeter per second.

Explanation:

Given:

Top speed of star fish = 161 centimeter per minutes

We need to express given speed in centimeter per second.

We know that ,

1 minute = 60 seconds.

So, Speed of Star fish in centimeter per second =
161*(1\:cm)/(60\:second)

=
(161)/(60)\:(cm)/(second)

=
2.6833\:(cm)/(second)

=
3\:cm\:per\:second

Therefore, Speed of the Star Fish is 3 centimeter per second.
