Answer: 1324

Explanation:

To convert the speed from miles per year to centimeters per day, we need to go through several unit conversions.1 mile is approximately equal to 1609.34 meters.

1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters.Let's calculate the speed in centimeters per day:Speed (cm/day)=(Speed (miles/year)×1609.34×100365 days/year)Speed (cm/day)=(365days/yearSpeed (miles/year)×1609.34×100​)Speed (cm/day)=(3 miles/year×1609.34×100365 days/year)Speed (cm/day)=(365days/year3miles/year×1609.34×100​)Now, calculate the result:Speed (cm/day)≈3×1609.34×100365Speed (cm/day)≈3653×1609.34×100​Speed (cm/day)≈4828.02×100365Speed (cm/day)≈3654828.02×100​Speed (cm/day)≈482,802365Speed (cm/day)≈365482,802​Speed (cm/day)≈1323.57Speed (cm/day)≈1323.57Rounding to the nearest whole number, the speed is approximately 13241324 centimeters per day.
