Question

The dwarf sea horse hippocampus zosterae swims at a rate of 52.68 feet per hour. How do I convert the speed to inches per minute

Answer 1

I believe you have to convert 52.68 into inches first. So, 52.68 x 12 **this is because we are going to feet to inches** = 632.16 .Then divide that by 60 **60 minutes in an hour.** 632.16/ 60= 10.536 inches a minute. 

Answer 2

52.68 feet per hour = 10.536 inch/minutes

Explanation:

It is given that, the dwarf sea horse hippo-campus zoster swims at a rate of 52.68 feet per hour. We can say that the speed of the horse is 52.68 feet per hour.

We need to convert its speed in inches per minute. The relation between feet per hour and inches per minute is as follows :

1 foot/hour = 0.2 inch/minute

Now using unitary method foot per hour can be converted to inch per minutes.

52.68 foot/hour = 52.68 × 0.2 inch/minute

So, 52.68 foot/hour = 10.536 inch/minute

Hence, this is the required solution.
