Question

A starfish's top speed is approximately 161 centimeters per minute. What is this speed to the nearest centimeter per second? plz help due Tuesday!.

Answer 1

2.7 cm per second. Because it’s 161 divided by 60

Answer 2

It would be 3 cm per second. You need to divide the 161 cm/min by 60 (60 sec + 1 min) 161 / 60 = 2.68333.., which is rounded to 3 cm/sec.
