c.1 min60 s

d.60 s1 min

Answer 1

To convert 18 cm/s to meters per minute, you need to multiply by 0.18 and 10.8, using the conversion factors 1 m/100 cm and 60 s/1 min.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert 18 cm/s to meters per minute, we need to use two conversion factors:

1. 100 cm = 1 m
2. 60 s = 1 min

So, multiplying 18 cm/s by both conversion factors:

1. (18 cm/s) * (1 m/100 cm) = 0.18 m/s
2. (0.18 m/s) * (60 s/1 min) = 10.8 m/min

Therefore, 18 cm/s is equivalent to 10.8 m/min.
