Question

Convert 30 feet per second to miles per minute.

5280 ft = 1 mi



Round to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

We know that:

1 mile = 5280 ft

1 minute = 60 sec

Therefore to convert this we simply use the conversion factors:

(30 ft / s) * (60 s / 1 min) * (1 mi / 5280 ft) = 0.34 mi / min

So we got 0.34 miles per minute.
