Question

A car is driving at a speed of 60 mi/h. What is the speed of the car in feet per minute? Please explain too! :)

Answer 1

The answer of the question is 5,280 foot per minutes because on miles per hour in foot per minute is 88 foot per minutes and then you multiply by 60.

Answer 2

5280 ft/min.

Explanation:

We need to know that 1 mile = 5280 feet or
`(5280 feet)/(1 mile) = 1`. Then

`60 (mi)/(h)(5280 feet)/(1 mi) = 60*5280(feet)/(h)= 316800(feet)/(h)`.

Now, we nee dto know that 1 hour = 60 minutes or
`(1 hour)/(60min) = 1`. Then,

`316800(feet)/(h)(1 h)/(60min) = (316800)/(60)(feet)/(min) = 5280(feet)/(min)`.
