To find the rate, you must divide the distance by the time (Rate=Distance/Time). In this case, 5/60 = 0.083. So your pill bug is moving at a rate of 0.083mm per second. Now, there is no need to use a decimal with milimeters, because there are smaller metric units of distance. Micrometres are a 1,000th of a milimeter. So multiply the milimeters by 1,000, and change the unit to Micrometres (0.083x1,000), and you have your final answer, which is that your pill bug is moving at 83 Micrometres per second.
