Question

Convert 2000 ft./min. to miles per hour round to the nearest 10th

Answer 1

The conversion of 2000 ft per min into miles per hour is 2.268 miles per hour .

Explanation:

Given as :

The speed = s = 2000 ft per min

Now, ∵ 5280 feet = 1 miles

so, 1 feet =
`(1)/(5280)` miles

∴ 2000 feet =
`(1)/(5280)` × 2000 miles

i.e 2000 feet = 0.378 miles

Again

∵ 1 minute =
`(1)/(60)` hour

So, The speed in miles per hour

s =
`(distance)/(time)`

∴ s =
`(0.378)/((1)/(60))`

i.e s = 2.268 miles per hour

Hence, The conversion of 2000 ft per min into miles per hour is 2.268 miles per hour . answer
