Question

the largest species of jellyfish is the lions mane jellyfish. one particular specimen has a diameter of 1.04 meters and tentacles that are 29 meters long. the specimen weighs 161 kilograms and can travel at a speed of 1.08 meters per second. what is the speed of the specimen in decimeters per second? (type an integer or a decimal.) dm/sec

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the conversion factor

1 meter = 10 decimeters.

Step2: Convert the speed

Given speed is 1.08 meters per second. Multiply by 10 to convert to decimeters per second. So, $1.08\times10 = 10.8$ dm/sec.

Answer:

10.8
