An object is moving at 9 centimeters every 5.5 minutes have a speed of 0.01 mile per day.
Speed is the ratio of distance travelled to time taken. Speed is given by:
Speed = distance/time
Given that the 9 cm is covered every 5.5 minutes, hence:
1 mile = 160934 cm;
9 cm = 9 * 1/160934 = 9/160934 mile
1 day = 1440 minutes
5.5 minute = 5.5 * 1/1440 = 5.5/1440 day
Hence:
Speed = distance/time
Speed = (9/160934 mile)/(5.5/1440 day)
Speed = 0.01 mile per day
An object is moving at 9 centimeters every 5.5 minutes have a speed of 0.01 mile per day.
