Question

There are 5280 feet in a mile and 60 minutes in an hour (needless to say). How fast is a car going 30 miles per hour traveling in feet per minute?

(Please help me)

Answer 1

2640 feet in a minute.

Explanation:

Since the car is going 30 miles per hour, and there are 5280 feet in one mile, you would multiply 30 by 5280.

30 * 5280 = 158400

So 154800 feet = 30 miles.

Since you want to find out how fast a car going 30 miles per hour is traveling in feet per a minute, you would divide 154800 feet by 60, since there are 60 minutes in an hour.

154800 / 60 = 2640.

So 2640 feet in a minute.

If you want to check this, you can do 2640 * 60, which indeed equals 154800.

Hope this helps.
