Question

Make the indicated conversion. 65.8 m/s to ft/min(Do not round until the final answer. Then round to the nearest hundred as needed.)

Answer 1

Notice that 1 meter=3.28084ft and 60 seconds=1min; therefore,

`65.8(m)/(s)(1)(1)=65.8(m)/(s)(3.28084(ft)/(m))(60(s)/(\min))=65.8\cdot3.28084\cdot60(ft)/(\min)`

Thus,

`\Rightarrow65.8(m)/(s)=12952.75632(ft)/(\min )\approx12952.76(ft)/(\min)`

The rounded answer is 12952.76ft/min
