Answer:
0.006 miles per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given;
Speed in cm per minute ( 17 cm per min)
We are required to convert cm per minute to miles an hour
we need to know that;
1 miles = 160934 cm
1 hour = 60 minutes
We can convert 17 cm to miles and 1 minute to hours
17 cm = 17 ÷ 160934 cm
= 17/160934
1 minute = 1/60 hour
Therefore;
In miles per hour;
= (17/160934) ÷ (1/60)
= 0.00634 miles per hour
= 0.006 miles per hour
Therefore, 17 cm per minute is equivalent to 0.006 miles per hour
.60 is above 50 so you round up
4.60 becomes 5.00 if you round it to the nearest tenth
