When traveling a certain distance, it is done at a certain speed (rate) for a certain length of time. The formula that ties these variables together is… d = r · t
So 18 inches per minute is 1.5 feet per minute.

(18 inch / 1 minute) x (1 foot / 12 inch)

= (18 x 1) / (1 x 12) (foot / minute)

= 18/12 foot/minute = 1.5 foot/minute
