Answer 1

Answer:

Option C is correct

Conversion factor is used : 60 seconds / 1 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Speed = 20.1 meters per second

To convert this speed in meters per minute.

Conversion Factor is the relationships between units to convert from one unit to another unit.

Use conversion: 1 minute= 60 second

speed = $20.1\frac{meter}{seconds}$

Now, multiply the speed in meter/seconds with 60 seconds and you will get the speed in meters/minute.

i.e,

speed = $20.1\times 60 =1206\frac{meter}{minute}$

Therefore, the conversion factor is used : 60 seconds / 1 minutes

Answer 2

I believe that the answer would be C because you need to convert the seconds into minutes, while multiplying the 20.1 m/s. This leading to equal 1206 meters per minute.
