To solve this problem, it is necessary to convert minutes to seconds and then re calculate the number of revolutions per second, this way:


\frac{10\text{rev}}{\min }\cdot(1\min)/(60s)=(10rev)/(60s)

Solve the division


(10)/(60)(rev)/(s)=(1)/(6)\frac{\text{rev}}{s}=0.166(rev)/(s)

The wheel makes 0.166 revolutions per second
