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]
