Question

The Earth’s tectonic plates move on the order of 1-15 centimeters per year ((cm)/(yr)).

If a plate is moving 5.2 (cm)/(yr), what distance [in kilometers (km)] will the plate move in 1 million years?
To solve this problem, you need to convert 5.2 (cm)/(yr) to (km)/(my). (my = million years)
