1. Start with the speed of light in meters per second:
* The speed of light is approximately 299,792,458 meters per second (m/s).
2. Convert meters to centimeters:
* There are 100 centimeters (cm) in 1 meter (m).
* So, multiply the speed of light in m/s by 100 cm/m:
299,792,458 m/s * 100 cm/m = 29,979,245,800 cm/s
3. Convert seconds to minutes:
* There are 60 seconds (s) in 1 minute (min).
* So, divide the speed of light in cm/s by 60 s/min:
29,979,245,800 cm/s / 60 s/min = 499,654,096,667 cm/min
Therefore, the speed of light is approximately 499,654,096,667 centimeters per minute.
