Chapter 6: Q2. (page 277)

Write the equivalent rate.
$\frac{5 c m}{1 \min} = \frac{? c m}{1 h}$

Short Answer

Expert verified

The equivalent rate of $\frac{5 cm}{1min}$ is given by $\frac{300 cm}{1hour}$ .

Step by step solution

. Given

The given rate is $\frac{5 cm}{1min}$ .

.To determine

We have to convert the given ratio from cm per min to cm per hour form.

. Calculation

In order to convert the minutes into the hour, we will have to multiply the rate by a conversion factor.

$\begin{array}{l} Weknowthat1hour=60minutes,so \frac{60 min}{1 hour} = 1. \\ \frac{5 cm}{1 min} = \frac{5 cm}{1 min} \cdot \frac{60 min}{1 hour} [Multiplyratebyconversionfactor.] \\ = \frac{300 cm}{1 hour} . [Canceloutcommonunitsandsimplify] \end{array}$

Hence,

$\frac{5 cm}{1min} = \frac{300 cm}{1hour}$

So, the required equivalent rate of $\frac{5 cm}{1min}$ is $\frac{300 cm}{1hour}$ .
