Answer:
0.006 miles per hour
Explanation:
We are given;
Speed in cm per minute ( 17 cm per min)
We are required to convert cm per minute to miles an hour
we need to know that;
1 miles = 160934 cm
1 hour = 60 minutes
We can convert 17 cm to miles and 1 minute to hours
17 cm = 17 ÷ 160934 cm
= 17/160934
1 minute = 1/60 hour
Therefore;
In miles per hour;
= (17/160934) ÷ (1/60)
= 0.00634 miles per hour
= 0.006 miles per hour
Therefore, 17 cm per minute is equivalent to 0.006 miles per hour
