What is unit conversion?

A unit conversion expresses the same property as a different unit of measurement. In order to have accuracy and avoid confusion in measurement, we need to convert one unit to another.

For the given situation,

A cyclist rides his bike at a rate = 12 miles per hour

1 hour = 60 minutes

12 miles per hour = $\frac{12}{60}$

⇒ $0.2$ miles per minute

For 2 minutes, cyclist travel is

⇒ $0.2(2)=0.4$

Hence we can conclude that the rate in miles per minute is 0.2 and the miles will the cyclist travel in 2 minutes is 0.4 miles per minute.
