Answer:

1.12x10⁷ mi / min

Explanation:

Speed is a magnitude defined as the distance an object travels per unit of time.

Speed light is 3.00x10⁸ m/s. To convert this to miles per minute we need to convert the meters to miles and the seconds to minutes:

3.00x10⁸ m/s * (1mi / 1609.344m) = 186411.4 mi/s

186411.4 mi/s * (60s / 1min) =

1.12x10⁷ mi / min
