The speed of blood in capillaries is 1mm/min how will it be converted into m /sec?

$0.000016667$ $0.000016667$ m/sec or $1.6667 \times 10^{- 5}$ $1.6667xx10^-5$ m/sec

Explanation:

Given speed of blood = $1$ $1$ mm/min
To convert this speed to $\frac{m}{sec}$ $m/sec$ we need to convert $m m$ $mm$ to $m$ $m$ and $min$ to $sec$

The relationship between m and mm is $1m$ = $1000mm$
therefore, $1mm$ = $1/1000 m$ = $0.001m$ ...........(A)

Now, for time, $1min$ = $60 sec$ .........................(B)

So, $1$ mm/min can be written as:

$(0.001m)/(60sec)$ (By using values from A & B)

which is, $0.000016667$ m/sec and it can be also written as:
$1.6667xx10^-5$ m/sec
