Math Problem Solver

There are \(\frac{1}{6} \approx 0.167\) meters per second in \(1000\) centimeters per minute.

There are \(\frac{1}{6000}\) meters per second in a centimeter per minute.

The conversion factor from centimeters per minute to meters per second is \(\frac{1}{6000}\frac{\text{meters per second}}{\text{centimeters per minute}}\).

Multiply the quantity in centimeters per minute by the conversion factor to get the quantity in meters per second: \[1000 \text{ centimeters per minute} \times \frac{1}{6000}\tfrac{\text{meters per second}}{\text{centimeters per minute}} = \frac{1}{6} \approx 0.167 \text{ meters per second}\]
