Explanation:
To convert 12 m to kilometers per minute, we need to consider the conversation factors for both length and time.
First, let's convert meters to kilometers. Since there are 1000 meters in 1 kilometer, we divide 12 by 1000:
12 m ÷ 1000 = 0.012 kilometers
Next, we need to consider the time. We want to convert the length of 0.012 kilometers to kilometers per minute. To do this, we need to know the time it takes to cover this distance.
If we assume it takes 1 minute to cover the 0.012 kilometers, then the conversion factor for time is 1. However, if it takes a different amount of time, we would need to adjust our conversion accordingly.
So, in this case, the conversation factor for time is 1 minute.
Multiplying the length (0.012 kilometers) by the time (1 minute) gives us the result:
0.012 kilometers × 1 minute = 0.012 kilometers per minute
Therefore, to multiply 12 m to get kilometers per minute, we use the conversion factors of 0.012 kilometers (for length) and 1 minute (for time).
