Sloths are known for their extremely slow movement, and their speed can vary based on the species and the situation. On average, sloths can move at a speed of around 0.03 mph to 0.15 mph when they are in the trees, which is their natural habitat.

To convert this to feet per minute, we can use the following conversions:

1 mph = 5280 feet per hour (since there are 5280 feet in a mile)
1 hour = 60 minutes

Using the slower speed (0.03 mph):
0.03 miles/hour x 5280 feet/mile = 158.4 feet/hour

Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, we now divide by 60 to convert the speed into feet per minute:
158.4 feet/hour ÷ 60 minutes/hour = 2.64 feet/minute

Using the faster speed (0.15 mph):
0.15 miles/hour x 5280 feet/mile = 792 feet/hour

Again, converting to feet per minute:
792 feet/hour ÷ 60 minutes/hour = 13.2 feet/minute

So depending on their speed, sloths travel approximately between 2.64 feet per minute and 13.2 feet per minute. It's worth noting that these numbers are very approximate, and the actual distance a sloth travels in a minute can vary based on individual behavior and circumstances. Additionally, since sloths are much slower on the ground, their speed can be even less than the above calculation when they are moving on land.
