Question

Choose one or more conversion factors that can best be used to convert 50 (km)/(Myr)(kilometers per million years) to (cm)/(yr) (centimeters per year).
(100 cm)/(1 m)
(1 Myr)/(1000000yr)
(1000 m)/(1 km)
(1 km)/(1000 m)
(1min)/(60sec)
(60 min)/(1 hr)
(1hr)/(60 min)


Now convert 50 (km)/(Myr)to _______(cm)/(yr). (cm)/(yr)

Answer 1

1000m/1km first then 100cm/1m then 1Myr/1000000yr

Answer 2

so 50*1000*100=500000

Answer 3

cm

Answer 4

then divide 500000 by 1000000

Answer 5

which gives you .5cm/yr
