Select each correct answer.

1. 1m/100cm

2. 100cm/1m

3. 1 min/60s

4. 60s/1min

Answer 1

Conversion factors are used to convert 18 cm/s to meters per minute by the function cm/s*60/100 = meter/min = 10.8. That first function is true.

Answer 2

Answer:

Options A and D are correct choices.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to convert 18 cm/s to meters per minute.

We know that 1 m equals  100 cm and 1 minute equals 60 seconds.

$\frac{\text{18 cm}}{\text{sec}}\times \frac{1\text{ m}}{\text{100 cm}}\times \frac{60\text{ sec}}{\text{1 min}}$

Therefore, our required expressions are $\frac{1\text{ m}}{\text{100 cm}}$ and $\frac{60\text{ sec}}{\text{1 min}}$.
