small earthworms travel at speeds of about 0.2 centimeters per second. what is this speed in meters per…

Explanation:

Step1: Recall conversion factor

1 meter = 100 centimeters, so 1 centimeter=$\frac{1}{100}$ meters = 0.01 meters.

Step2: Convert speed

We have 0.2 centimeters per second. To convert to meters per second, multiply 0.2 by the conversion factor of centimeters to meters. So $0.2\times0.01 = 0.002$ meters per second.

Answer:

0.002 meters per second
