Answer:

$(29)/(120)\ or \ 0.2$

Explanation:

6(7)/(8)

6(7)/(8) is equivalent to:

$8*6+1\\\\48+7\\\\55\\\\(55)/(8)$

We need to divide
(55)/(8) by 30 to know how far it moves per second (1 second)

$((58)/(8))/(30) \\\\\\frac{58}{8}/(30)/(1)\\\\ (58)/(8)*(1)/(30)\\\\(58)/(240)\\\\ (29)/(120) \\\\0.2$

The meteoroid travels
(29)/(120) = 0.2 in one second.

Hope this helps!
