there are 60 seconds in 1 minute

\(\frac{161}{} \frac{cm}{min} \times \frac{1}{60} \frac{min}{seconds}= \frac{161}{60} \frac{cm}{seconds}\)

Answer:

Speed of the Star Fish is 3 centimeter per second.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Top speed of star fish = 161 centimeter per minutes

We need to express given speed in centimeter per second.

We know that ,

1 minute = 60 seconds.

So, Speed of Star fish in centimeter per second = \(161\times\frac{1\:cm}{60\:second}\)

                                                                                = \(\frac{161}{60}\:\frac{cm}{second}\)

                                                                                = \(2.6833\:\frac{cm}{second}\)

                                                                                = \(3\:cm\:per\:second\)

Therefore, Speed of the Star Fish is 3 centimeter per second.
