Question

Could someone help me understand how to do this?
Convert 3 ft. per minute into miles per hour. Show all work. Make sure you label your answer.

Answer 1

whats the relation between feet and mile?

Answer 2

if you can tell..

Answer 3

There are 5,280 feet in a mile, and there are 60 seconds per minute

Answer 4

in a minute I mean

Answer 5

if 1 mile = 5280 feet,,then 3 miles = 3*5280 feet!
and 1 hr = 60 mins,,so 1 min = 1/60 hrs..
so,,can you reach the ans now?

Answer 6

No sorry, I don't know what to do next. This is a new topic for me..

Answer 7

3 feet per minute. 1 feet = 12 inches so
3 x 12 = 36 inches per minute. 1 inch = 2.54 cm so
36 x 2.54 = 91.44 cm per minute. 100 cm = 1meter so
91.44 / 100 = 0.9144 meter per minute. 1 hour = 60 minutes
so if 0.9144 m in one minute..then in 60 minutes it is 60 x 0.9144=54.864 meter in one hour
Now 1 mile = 1609 m so 54.864 meter = 0.034 mile

so the 3 ft. per minute = 0.034 mile per hour

Answer 8

3 miles / 1 hr = 3*5280 feet / 60 mins
solve 3*5280 /60 and you get your ans
