1 feet=12 inches
?feet=10 inches
Step 1:
Cross multiply
10×1=10
Step 2:
10÷12=0.833333... As a result, 10 inches equal 0.833333 feet

1 minutes=60 seconds
We know that the animal move
0.833333.. feet in 60 seconds
1 foot in ? second
Step 1:
Cross multiply
1×60=60
Step 2:
60÷0.8333333...≈72 seconds. As a result, the rate is about 72 seconds per foot. Hope it help!
