Which conversion factors are used to convert 12 m/s to kilometers per minute? Select each correct answer. Question 4 options: 60 s/1 min 1 km/1000 m 1000 m/1 km 1 min/60 s

OpenStudy (mathmale):

All of the given converstion factors are correct. Your problem here is to decide WHICH ONES apply to THIS problem. Why not experiment? Please share your work.

OpenStudy (gabby2117):

@mathmale will you help me and tell me how I do

OpenStudy (mathmale):

First you'll need to convert 'meters' to 'kilometers.' How would you do that? Again, I ask you to experiment. Share your work, and then I'd gladly give you feedback on it.

OpenStudy (gabby2117):

i know that theres 0.001 km in a meter

OpenStudy (mathmale):

True. So, your conversion factor would be \[\frac{ 0.001~ km }{ 1 m }\]

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Now multiply 12 m/s by that conversion factor. I need to see your work to give you the best feedback.

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Note: Altho' your \[\frac{ 0.001~ km }{ 1 m }\] will "work," your job is to choose the conversion factors from the given list, not to come up with "new" ones.
