To convert the tortoise's speed from cm/min to mph, first convert cm to meters (454 cm = 4.54 meters), then meters to miles (1 meter = 0.000621371 miles), so 4.54 meters/min = 0.002822 miles/min. Then, convert minutes to hours (multiply by 60), so 0.002822 miles/min * 60 = 0.16932 miles/hour, which rounds to approximately 0.17 mph.
