Question

Find the unit rate in feet per second. 240 yards/1hour. Can you explain and answer?

Answer 1

240 yards = 720 ft
convert 720 ft per hour by dividing 720 by 3600 (the number of secs in an hour)

Answer 2

this is 0.2 feet per second

Answer 3

3 feet = 1 yard,
1 hour = 3600 seconds (60 minutes of 60 seconds)
240 x 3 / 1 x 3600
720 feet / 3600 seconds
0.2 feet / second

Answer 4

240yds/1hour * [(3ft/yd)/(60 min/hr)] = 720 ft/60min = 12ft/min * [1/(60secs/min)] = 0.2 ft/sec
