There are 2.54 centimeters in every inch. If a bug moves at a rate of 3.5 inches per second, then Which of the following is closest to its speed in meters per second?


Respuesta :

Answer: 0.08 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told the bug moves at a rate of:

[tex]3.5 \frac{in}{s}[/tex]

And we have to convert this to units of [tex]\frac{m}{s}[/tex], knowing [tex]1 in=2.54 cm[/tex] and [tex]1 m=100 cm[/tex]:

[tex]3.5 \frac{in}{s}. \frac{2.54 cm}{1 in}. \frac{1 m}{100 cm}=0.088 \frac{m}{s}[/tex]
