In order to solve this equation, you need to convert the units of measure. Since there are 60 minutes in one hour and 24 hours in one day, we can calculate the number of minutes in one week. 60 minutes/hour * 24 hours/day * 7 days/week = 10,080 minutes/week Since we have 5 cm/min, we can calculate the number of meters in one week by multiplying the number of minutes in one week by the number of centimeters in one minute: 10,080 minutes/week * 5 cm/minute = 50,400 cm/week And now that we have the total number of centimeters in one week, we can convert the units of measure to meters by dividing by 100: 50,400 cm/week / 100 = 504 m/week Therefore, the equation can be rewritten as 5 cm/min = 504 m/week.
