1.  If a snail is traveling at a rate of 1 inch per minute, how many miles per hour is the snail traveling?  Give your response using scientific notation.

anonymous · Answer

I can give you some conversion factors to use:

12 inches = 1 foot
5280 feet = 1 mile
60 minutes = 1 hour

Use these factors to manipulate the units.
