by dividing by 12:
100 in/min (1/12 ft/in) = 100/12 ft/min = 25/3 ft/min

Answer:

The conversion will give the answer : 8 1/3 feet/minute or 8.33 feet/minute

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 1 feet = 12 inches.

Or, 12 inches = 1 feet

So, 100 inches will be :
(1)/(12)*100 feet

Now, using both the units - feet per minute, we can write as :

100 inches/1 minute x 1 foot/12 inches

=> (100/12) feet/minute = 8 1/3 feet/minute or 8.33 feet/minute
