900ft/ 1hr or 900ft/ 1 min??
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
1 mile = 5280 ft (this is just something to be looked up or memorized)
multiply both sides by 15 to get
15 miles = 79200 ft
So 15 mi/1 hr = 79200 ft/1 hr
------------------------------------
Now,
1 hr = 60 min
So replace 1 hr in the denominator with 60 min to get
79200 ft/1 hr = 79200 ft/60 min
Now divide each component by 60 to get
79200/ 60 = 1320
and
60/60 = 1
This means that 79200 ft/60 min = 1320 ft/1 min
So the answer is 1320 ft/1 min
Make sure you typed everything correctly

^^ yeah thats what i got too.
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
so either there's a typo in the problem or a typo in the answer they gave of 900 ft/1 min
