Answer:
7.2 meters per hour
Explanation:
It is given that,
The speed of a paramecium is 2,000 micrometers per second.
We need to find the speed of the paramecium in meters per hour.
We know that,
[tex]1\ \mu m=10^{-6}\ m[/tex]
and
1 hour = 3600 seconds
[tex]v=2000\ \dfrac{\mu m}{s}\\\\=2000\times \dfrac{10^{-6}\ m}{(\dfrac{1}{3600})\ s}\\\\=7.2\ \text{meters/hour}[/tex]
Hence, the speed of the paramecium is 7.2 meters per hour.
