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!
