Question

Convert 30 feet per second to miles per minute.

5280 ft = 1 mi



Round to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

So their are 60 seconds in a minute and your going 30ft/sec. So your first step is 30•60 which equals 1,800 feet per minute. So we already know 5,280ft=1mile so 1,800/5,280=0.3409. Which to the nearest hundredth is 0.34 miles per minute.

Answer 2

0.34 miles per minute

Explanation:

We have to convert 30 feet per second to miles per minute.

1 minute = 60 seconds

Therefore, in one minute = 60 × 30 = 1800 feet

5280 feet = 1 mile

180 feet =
`(1800)/(5280)`

= 0.3409 ≈ 0.34 mile

Therefore, 0.34 mile per minute.
