Answer 1

`\text{Speed} = 651 \text{ miles per hour} = 57288\text{} foots per minute`

Explanation:

We are given speed in miles per hour

We have to convert it into foots per minute.

`\text{Speed} = 651 \text{ miles per hour}`

The conversion can be done in the following manner:

We know that

1 mile = 5280 foot

Also,

1 hour = 60 minutes.

Thus, the conversion takes place as:

`\text{Speed} = 651\text{ miles per hour} = \displaystyle\frac{651* 5280\text{ foot}}{1* 60\text{ minutes}}\\\\= 57288\text{ foot per minute}`

Thus, the speed in foot per minute is 57288 foots per minute.

Answer 2

We know that 60 minutes = 1 hour and 1 mile = 5280 feet. We just need to multiply and simplify:

651 miles/hour = 651 *5280/60 feet/minutes = 651*88 feet/minutes = 57288 feet/minutes
