Answer:

The factor which is used to convert feet per minute into miles per minute is: 1 ft per minute=0.000189 miles per minute. (since, 1 ft.= 0.000189 miles)

Explanation:

A conversion factor is a factor which is used to convert one unit to another by multiplication or division by a specified number.

We know that:

1 miles= 5280 ft.

This means that:

1 ft.=1/5280 miles

i.e. 1 ft.= 0.000189 miles.

Hence, 1 ft per minute=0.000189 miles per minute.
